📸 Erinnerungen an Florida. Alligatoren in Florida. Diese beeindruckenden Echsen sind wahre Allesfresser: Zu ihrer Nahrung gehören Fische, kleine Säugetiere, Schildkröten und Vögel. Obwohl sie an Land behäbig wirken, erreichen sie im Wasser Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 32 km/h und schwimmen nahezu lautlos, indem sie selbst kleinste Schwingungen im Wasser wahrnehmen. An Land können Alligatoren bei der Jagd auf kurzen Strecken bis zu 50 km/h schnell werden. Sie klettern sogar manchmal auf Bäume, wenn es keinen flachen Zugang zum Ufer gibt, auch wenn dies selten vorkommt. Alligatoren-Weibchen sind fürsorgliche Mütter, die bis zu 70 Eier an Uferböschungen legen und ihre Nester eifersüchtig vor Fressfeinden bewachen. Die Babys messen bei der Geburt etwa 20 cm und bleiben mehrere Wochen unter der Obhut ihrer Mutter. Ein interessanter Fakt: Ob ein Alligator-Junges männlich oder weiblich wird, hängt von der Temperatur des Nestes ab – über 31°C für Männchen, darunter für Weibchen. 🌞🌿 Auf meinen Aufnahmen sind ein altes und ein junges Tier zu erkennen. #FloridaWildlife #NaturePhotography #Alligator #Wildlife #NatureLovers #WildlifePhotography #ReptilesOfInstagram #NatureMagic #FloridaNature #NatGeo #IncredibleNature #AnimalBehavior #WildlifeExperience #NatureBeauty #ExploreNature #NatureInFocus #AlligatorsFlorida #WildlifeObservation #NatureAdventure #ReptileLovers #AnimalFacts #WildlifeProtection #MotherNature

This is probably the best picture I've ever taken of a butterfly. This White peacock butterfly was so generous and let me get super close. I'm adding some more frogfruit to the garden to attract more. I'm always adding more host plants to the garden. My goal is to get as many butterflies as possible. I've become a little obsessed. It started with fruit trees, then native plants to attract Bees, birds and now butterflies. #butterfly #butterflygarden #whitePeacock #zone10a #zone9b #floridawildlife #floridagardening #biodiversity

Florida Native Stoke’s Aster is a beautiful addition to your garden. The flower gets up to 4 inches wide. It blooms from May to September. This is one of my favorites that I planted last year. #stokesaster #floridanativeplants #aster #purpleflowers #flowers #wildflowers #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #jhewphotography #jehovahscreation #jwsnapshots #jwshutterbugs #nationalgeographic #natgeo #floridascenichighways #floridawildlife #jwshooters #canon #tamron #macro #macrophotography #canon5dmkiv #tamron180mmmacro

Alligator on a mission to rest and warm up on the bank. Photographed this past winter on a cold Florida day! It was fun to watch how the gators would make space for each other in the sunny snuggle pile along the bank. Photographed on the ancestral lands of the Timucua, Miccosukee, Mascogo and Seminole nations. #alligators #gators #floridawildlife #conserveflorida

Date: 03/16/2024 Place: CREW Bird Rookery Swamp Trails Subject: American Alligator Nature Facts: While the mother alligator provides care initially, baby alligators are relatively independent. They can swim, hunt, and fend for themselves shortly after hatching, although they still benefit greatly from the mother's protection during their early days.

Pair of Squirrells hitting the feeder. Was always just one so I made a post to hold corn but showed no interest. Then there was 2 and the other day saw a 3rd.

This beautiful hawk stood there on that branch staring at me and watching me go by him for 10 minutes while I was cutting the grass. He was probably wondering while the human was going in circles or checking for small snakes and lizards. 😂. They look amazing. #nature #wildlife #floridaliving #floridawildlife

Sol & Apollo’s babies have moved on and they gave us a fantastic experience for 7 days before moving on to the next phase of their life. Two had fallen to the ground, prompting Jessie and me to intervene since the tree doesn’t have anything easy for them to climb onto from the bottom, and cats were surrounding them. Shortly after placing them back on the tree, they quickly learned and reached Sol in just a few hours. These babies still have a lot ahead of them, but I believe they will be just fine 😄 So to begin with, here’s a photo I captured one morning of both of them curiously looking my direction May 2024 • • • #nature_brilliance #owls #floridawildlifephotography #bb_of_ig #elite_wildlife #best_birds_of_ig #best_birds_of_world #explore_wildlife #your_best_birds #nature #featured_wildlife #featherperfection #yourshotphotographer #elite_owls #elite_raptors #floridawildlife #birdingphotography #birdsofprey #wildlifeplanet #wildlifeperfection #floridabirds #raptorsofinstagram #natgeobirds #bestbirdshot #bird_nature #raptors #owl #easternscreechowl #birdsonearth #nature_perfection

Seeing such rare plants in the wild always feels like pure magic ✨️ Walking though the swamp, I could recognize this funky looking airplant with chalky leaves was something unique that I hadn't seen before, but I wasn't super positive what it was. But with some help from the Florida Plant Atlas and confirmation from @thorny_wanders , I found out that it is nodding catopsis (Catopsis nutans), the rarest of our native airplants! This species is found in other places throught the Caribbean and Central & South America, but South Florida is the northernmost part of their range. In Florida, they are only found within Collier County; a study in 2002 only located one population of them, and a 2007 publication estimated there were less than 100 in the population. Conservation efforts have been made to reintroduce some into the swamps, but they are still extremely rare and coming across this one by chance was incredibly lucky. C. nutans is one of three Catopsis species native to Florida. The other two, C. floribunda and C. berteroniana (one of very few carnivorous bromeliads!), are both more common than this one, but still quite rare in the state. All three are considered endangered in our state because of a number of threats: habitat destruction and hydrologic changes, rampant poaching, and especially the invasive Mexican bromeliad weevil. This is an invasive pest introduced through the exotic plant trade which nests in the root system of our native tank bromeliads like this, putting already rare/specialized species even more at risk. #catopsis #bromeliads #airplants #endangered #plants #plantsofinstagram #botany #colliercounty #swfl #Florida #wildflorida #floridawildlife #floridawildlifecorridor #wildlife #hiking #nature #canon #wildlifephotography #everglades #bigcypress #defendthesacred

Florida scrub habitat is one of the oldest and most threatened ecosystems in Florida; prized for its higher elevation by developers. With a rapidly expanding population to serve, this often overlooked habitat is quickly disappearing under pavement and housing (along with our wild neighbors) unless we make an effort to protect them for all generations. Here are a couple of the residents we usually see when visiting the scrub, with a special visit by a young Osceola Turkey chick, a species endemic to Florida! . . #wildflorida #keepflwild #floridawildlife #floridatrails #floridanature #floridawildlifecorridor #deer #turkey #protectwhatyoulove photos by @kellyofthewild @floridawildlifecorridor

Please help us keep our dolphins safe: - slow down - do not make a wake for the dolphins to ride in (if you do it on purpose you are breaking federal law - Marine Mammal Act 1972) - wear polarized glasses - keep a safe distance - never feed wild dolphins - change location if dolphins show interest in your catch or bait It is heartbreaking to see so many of our dolphins injured by boat props. These 2 dolphins we saw on our morning Dolphin Tour on Monday, 4/22/24 and I only realized later, that these are actually 2 different dolphins. Feel free to share to spread the word.
