It's been awhile since we visited St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. We miss our swamp. With the possibility of seeing alligators around each bend, every visit is an adventure.
This blog is dedicated to the American Alligator and its habitat--the swamps and lakes of the Southeastern U.S. It will showcase the beauty of swamps and all the critters that call swamps home. You'll find links to resources where you can learn more about swamps, wildlife, birds, and alligators. You'll learn about the Okeefenokee Swamp, St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, Paynes Prairie, and other alligator habitats.

Florida's Forgotten Coast Calendar
There's a sparsely populated stretch of Florida coastline that stretches from St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge to Mexico Beach, Florida, that is still beautiful and nearly pristine. It's called the Forgotten Coast. It's a place where you can see all manner of critters: alligators, bear, boar, bobcats, coyotes, deer, and more. If you are looking for a part of Florida that offers a real escape from civilization, it's your kind of place. We spent a couple of years there and took lots of pictures. Our best have ended up on this calendar. It's called Florida's Forgotten Coast Calendar - 2013:
