Wildlife Adventure at Fisheating Creek
Award-winning film maker Rich Kern explores one of Florida's least-disturbed rivers as it winds its way toward Lake Okeechobee. Here a vast spectrum of wildlife abounds.
Summer is the fussy activity of spiders, insects, wading birds, otters and alligators. Strange things happen at night: a mushroom sprouts, a resurrection fern unfolds, an apple snail lays eggs on a cypress knee. Alligator eggs hatch in the fall and the cypress lose their needles.
In the winter the barred owl, caracara, and red-shouldered hawk raise their young; and in the surrounding prairies, pine woods, and scrub lands we find deer, turkey, sandhill cranes and more.
