Big Cypress National Preserve is attached to Everglades NP. A canal runs parallel to the road through the parks and about every 10-20 seconds you spot a gator in it. There are a few boardwalks and a visitor centre along the way where you can stop and enjoy them which is more enjoyable then watching gators fly by at 55 miles per hour.
Mercedes with the ranger hat? They have great programs at national parks, and even some state parks, called junior ranger. If you complete the book of activities for that park you get a badge, sometimes you have to repeat the junior ranger pledge as she is doing here.
The birds in that campsite are vultures. They were scavenging the site while the campers were off hunting. That was ok with us as they were the same campers that decided feeding the gator in the lake was a good idea in spite of signs everywhere saying otherwise. It's bad for the campers that come after them as now the gator will come to them expecting to be fed, and it's of course very bad for the gator because now he's a danger and is doomed.
