Everglades/Big Cypress day 2

Monday Nancy and I explored Big Cypress Preserve and Everglades National Park.

The poor alligator below had found some human trash and was trying to eat it, bag and all.  The park personnel decided to try to capture the gator and try to get the trash away from him.

The gator escaped the initial attempt at capture so we left and continued our exploration.  

We also saw several manatees in the area.

After exploring Big Cypress we returned to Everglades and took a boat ride in the bay and mangrove islands.
