But when Brian told me that his sister’s wedding would by held at the beginning of May in Fort Myers, Florida, my second thought (the first being “Eeeeeeeeeeee let’s gooooo!!!”) Though they are common in Florida, this was the first I had ever seen. Adding a bird to the life-list and I had only been in Florida for thirty minutes!

The most famous of these is Cattle Egret , but Masked Duck looked like it might make things interesting for a while and Antillean Nighthawk has more or less staked out a little niche for itself in extreme southern Florida. Since time and transportation was a problem, I’d given up on it. Nonsense, said Jeff.

The animal was transported to SeaWorld by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Her weight is taken every other day as animal care specialists closely monitor her progress. She remains in guarded condition and park veterinarians hope to eventually return her back to the wild.

Air boats are not my first choice for aquatic transportation – being loud and generally disturbing to everyone and everything – but they did allow us to cover a lot of water very quickly. Egrets in the distance. There are few places I have seen with more birds than Rodman Reservoir.

Park rangers in Cape Canaveral, FL transported the reptilian refugees to SeaWorld after rough seas caused by Hurricane Bill prevented the week-old trio from trekking from their nest to the waters off the Cape Canaveral National Seashore. Loggerheads are listed as threatened by the U. Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

This is an interesting moment in the story: Paragallo said Thursday that he had given the horses away to a Florida-based breeder, whom he did not identify, in December with the agreement that he could breed the mares back to one of his stallions based in New York or Florida. So he took them to the kill pen to sell them for slaughter.

In other words what are the chances of one of these extremely remote species showing up in a less remote place – like my backyard in Lake Worth, Florida? Some of these islands cannot be reached by any mode of transport except a long ocean crossing and some are well over a thousand miles from the closest human habitation.

hours on I-95 (we here in South Florida are known for our very limited public transportation options--boy do I miss NYC). I've worked from home, almost exclusively, for about two decades (if you count teaching and tutoring for The Princeton Review, which was evenings and weekends and I decided when I would work). It's comical.

Violet Rays raced for over two years, spending her days and nights in a kennel or being transported between South Florida and Oregon, only to be out of her kennel for about two hours per day, and with a muzzle on for that two hours (and maybe even while in the kennel).

South Florida is home to the most racetracks and Greyhound farms and trainers in the country, and you can’t turn on the radio or the television without encountering a commercial for the tracks. Outside he went, transported in plastic, back to his home in the wilds of suburban West Palm Beach.

The visitors along the boardwalk at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Florida were taking photos nonstop, we only had a few minutes before the wetlands closed, oohing and aaahing. I thought about those plumes and about how fortunate we were to be seeing this egret in all its glory. Congress and Senate who recognized the need to protect the birds.
