Corkscrew Swamp

The last time we went to Corkscrew Swamp was a couple of years ago. There wasn’t much happening, but it was probably just the time of year. This time we were treated to a lot more of natures wonders, including a hungry raccoon up in a tree!

At the end of the boardwalk, this Red Shouldered Hawk was sitting in nice lighting

It was a beautiful day to take the 2 1/4 mile boardwalk through Corkscrew Swamp. It’s one of the places that if you slow down you can still enjoy nature out in its own natural setting.
