Site Report: Everglades - Shark Alley

Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus)

Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus)

There is a visitor's center and a tram loop in the northern section of the everglades.

2011-07-12: Killing some time before a flight from Miami, we headed out to Shark Alley Visitor's center. We had a very short time to visit here, so we took a walk for a bit down the tramway. The walk was aborted after I was swarmed by about 100 mosquitos.
