Description

The entrance of Pay-hay-okee Trail in the Everglades is one of my favorite places to visit. It’s a wetland area filled with Cypress trees and rarely disappoints. I usually find birds perched in the trees as if they’re waiting their turn while other birds are wading in the water below. I used my car as a blind which helps to capture birds in their natural environment.
