01:49.233 --> 01:51.500 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
HELLO, AND WELCOME
TO <i>NATURE SCENE</i>

01:51.500 --> 01:52.966 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
FOR A MIDWINTER VISIT

01:52.966 --> 01:55.366 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
AT THE BIG CYPRESS
NATIONAL PRESERVE

01:55.366 --> 01:56.833 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
NEAR NAPLES, FLORIDA.

01:56.833 --> 01:59.600 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
I'M JIM WELCH WITH
NATURALIST RUDY MANCKE

01:59.600 --> 02:01.666 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
AND, RUDY, WE'RE
GOING TO LOOK

02:01.666 --> 02:03.566 align:left position:50% line:5% size:40%
FOR A GREAT
DAY FOR BIRDING.

02:03.566 --> 02:05.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I THINK THIS SHOULD BE
A PERFECT TIME FOR BIRDS

02:05.966 --> 02:08.900 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
AND WE'RE RIGHT ON THE FLYWAY,
THE MIGRATORY ROUTE SOUTH.

02:08.900 --> 02:11.100 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
SO THERE ARE PLENTY
OF STOPPING PLACES HERE

02:11.100 --> 02:12.800 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
AND I THINK WE'LL
HAVE A GOOD DAY

02:12.800 --> 02:13.900 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
SEEING SOME BIRDS

02:13.900 --> 02:15.666 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
THAT CAME
FROM FARTHER NORTH, MAYBE

02:15.666 --> 02:18.000 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
AND ARE SPENDING TIME
IN THIS PART OF FLORIDA.

02:18.000 --> 02:20.566 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
PRETTY EXCITING PLACE, TOO,
BECAUSE OF FRESHWATER

02:20.566 --> 02:22.866 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
I MEAN, IT'S ABUNDANT HERE,
USUALLY, YEAR ROUND

02:22.866 --> 02:24.666 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
MORE IN THE SUMMER
THAN IN THE WINTER

02:24.666 --> 02:26.966 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
BUT THERE WILL BE
A LOT OF WATER, I THINK, HERE

02:26.966 --> 02:28.866 align:left position:10% line:5% size:80%
AND THAT'LL ATTRACT
OTHER ANIMALS, TOO.

02:28.866 --> 02:31.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MAYBE SOME OF THE REPTILES
WILL BE OUT SUNNING

02:31.100 --> 02:32.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BECAUSE THINGS <i>ARE
WARMING UP.</i>

02:32.566 --> 02:34.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BASICALLY, THIS AREA,
THOUGH, IS INTRIGUING

02:34.966 --> 02:36.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BECAUSE IT USED
TO BE OCEAN FLOOR.

02:36.866 --> 02:39.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LIMESTONE MATERIAL,
REALLY, UNDER OUR FEET.

02:39.266 --> 02:42.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ORGANIC MATERIAL BEGAN TO FORM
AFTER THE OCEANS WENT AWAY

02:42.500 --> 02:45.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND NOW WE SEE SOME REALLY,
REALLY INTERESTING PLANTS.

02:45.566 --> 02:46.833 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
FLATNESS ALL
AROUND US

02:46.833 --> 02:48.733 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
AND GREAT HABITATS,
GREAT PLANTS.

02:48.733 --> 02:51.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WELL, WHEN YOU SAY
BIG CYPRESS NATIONAL PRESERVE

02:51.600 --> 02:53.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OF COURSE CYPRESS TREES
COME TO MIND

02:53.600 --> 02:55.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEY'RE ALL
AROUND US HERE.

02:55.366 --> 02:57.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE COMMON ONE HERE
IS POND CYPRESS.

02:57.366 --> 02:59.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
NEVER GETS AS LARGE
AS THE BALD CYPRESSES

02:59.700 --> 03:01.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THAT USED TO BE HERE.

03:01.000 --> 03:03.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN CUT
AND TAKEN AWAY.

03:03.533 --> 03:06.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT POND CYPRESS
IS TYPICAL OF THIS SITUATION

03:06.266 --> 03:08.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
A LITTLE BIT
OF EXTRA WATER HELPS.

03:08.333 --> 03:10.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
NO LEAVES ON
THIS TIME OF YEAR

03:10.133 --> 03:12.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BECAUSE THEY SHED
ALL THEIR NEEDLES--

03:12.233 --> 03:15.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
THE ONLY CONIFER
IN THE SOUTHEAST
THAT DOES THAT.

03:15.033 --> 03:17.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEN ALL THAT STUFF
HANGING DOWN

03:17.133 --> 03:19.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE LEAVES
FROM A DISTANCE

03:19.800 --> 03:21.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ARE MALE CONES ON THAT TREE.

03:21.466 --> 03:23.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT IS ONE OF THE CONIFERS
FOR SURE.

03:23.500 --> 03:26.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
MOST OF THE VEGETATION
AROUND US IS SAW GRASS.

03:26.166 --> 03:27.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
YEAH.

03:27.166 --> 03:28.166 align:left position:70% line:89% size:20%
SEDGES.

03:28.166 --> 03:29.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, REALLY,
A SEDGE.

03:29.466 --> 03:30.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
WE CALL IT A GRASS.

03:30.666 --> 03:33.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT DOES HAVE SAW...
SHARP, JAGGED EDGES

03:33.066 --> 03:35.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT THAT'S THE ONE
THAT YOU ALWAYS ASSOCIATE

03:35.766 --> 03:36.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
WITH THE EVERGLADES

03:36.966 --> 03:39.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND BASICALLY,
THIS IS A LITTLE PIECE

03:39.233 --> 03:40.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OF THE EVERGLADES HERE

03:40.633 --> 03:42.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WITH SOME OTHER HABITATS
MIXED IN.

03:42.700 --> 03:44.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT THAT IS WIDESPREAD,
DOMINANT

03:44.666 --> 03:47.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND, AGAIN, LOVES THESE
LITTLE SHALLOW WATER AREAS

03:47.766 --> 03:49.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ON TOP OF LIMESTONE.

03:49.033 --> 03:51.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND NOW, YOU MENTION BIRDS...

03:51.733 --> 03:53.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THE WOOD STORK

03:53.100 --> 03:55.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
RIGHT IN THE TOP
OF THAT LITTLE POND CYPRESS.

03:55.900 --> 03:57.933 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
THAT'S A STRANGE-
LOOKING ANIMAL.

03:57.933 --> 03:59.300 align:left position:60% line:89% size:30%
A BALD HEAD.

03:59.300 --> 04:00.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
YEAH.

04:00.500 --> 04:02.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
IN FACT, SOME CALL
IT "IRONHEAD," REALLY.

04:02.300 --> 04:03.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
BIG OLD BEAK.

04:03.300 --> 04:04.366 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
IT'S THE ONLY TRUE STORK

04:04.366 --> 04:05.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT WE'VE GOT
IN NORTH AMERICA.

04:05.766 --> 04:07.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AN INTERESTING ANIMAL,
THOSE LONG, GANGLY LEGS

04:07.833 --> 04:09.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND YET PERCHED
RIGHT UP IN THE TOP

04:09.366 --> 04:10.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AS IF IT'S VERY MUCH
AT HOME THERE.

04:10.900 --> 04:13.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND, OF COURSE, THEY NEST UP
IN THE TOPS OF THESE CYPRESSES.

04:13.700 --> 04:14.966 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
ONE OF THE WADING BIRDS.

04:14.966 --> 04:16.766 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
WE MIGHT SEE IT
IN THE WATER LATER.

04:16.766 --> 04:17.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OH, YEAH.

04:17.900 --> 04:19.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT THE CORMORANTS
DOWN THERE, TOO.

04:19.866 --> 04:21.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
A FEW CORMORANTS
RIGHT UP IN THE TOP

04:21.800 --> 04:23.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OF SOME MORE
CYPRESSES.

04:23.000 --> 04:24.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
DARKER BIRD,
DOWN-CURVED BEAK.

04:24.633 --> 04:27.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ONE OF THEM LOOKS LIKE
IT'S PREENING UP THERE.

04:27.133 --> 04:29.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
A BIG OF A HOOK ON THE
END OF THE BEAK THERE.

04:29.133 --> 04:31.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH; BOTH OF THOSE BIRDS,
NOW, SAY STANDING WATER

04:31.333 --> 04:33.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THERE IS PLENTY
OF STANDING WATER HERE.

04:33.066 --> 04:34.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WE'LL SEE THAT
AS WE WALK.

04:34.433 --> 04:37.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEN ANOTHER BIRD
THAT SPEAKS TO STANDING WATER.

04:37.233 --> 04:38.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT THE OSPREY
DOWN THERE.

04:38.733 --> 04:40.733 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
THE FISH HAWK.
THAT'S A DIVER.

04:40.733 --> 04:42.200 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
HE PLUNGES
INTO THE WATER.

04:42.200 --> 04:44.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, REAL SHARP EDGE
ON THE BEAK.

04:44.066 --> 04:45.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
CURVED DOWN.

04:45.066 --> 04:46.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOKING AWAY FROM US THERE.

04:46.533 --> 04:47.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
A LOT OF WHITE ON IT.

04:47.800 --> 04:50.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SOMETIMES PEOPLE THINK OF THAT
AS A BALD EAGLE.

04:50.166 --> 04:51.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT OSPREY,
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

04:51.766 --> 04:53.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OOH, AND MOVING AWAY.

04:53.133 --> 04:55.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT THE WINGSPAN
ON THAT BIRD AS IT DROPS DOWN.

04:55.733 --> 04:57.166 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
ALREADY WE'VE SEEN
THREE BIRDS

04:57.166 --> 04:58.866 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
AND ALL THREE HAVE
DIFFERENT STYLES

04:58.866 --> 05:00.000 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
OF GETTING THEIR FOOD.

05:00.000 --> 05:01.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ABSOLUTELY.

05:01.233 --> 05:02.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND I THINK THIS IS JUST
THE BEGINNING.

05:02.833 --> 05:04.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LET'S GET STARTED.

05:11.500 --> 05:13.966 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
2,400 SQUARE MILES
OF SAW GRASS MARSH

05:13.966 --> 05:16.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
AND WET PRAIRIE LOOKS
AND STRANDS OF TREES

05:16.766 --> 05:18.833 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
AS WE COME THROUGH
BIG CYPRESS.

05:18.833 --> 05:21.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
HIGHER GROUND,
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

05:21.033 --> 05:22.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND THE FOREST TYPE CHANGES

05:22.566 --> 05:24.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WHEN YOU'VE GOT
A LITTLE ELEVATION

05:24.466 --> 05:26.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND A LITTLE MORE
ORGANIC-RICH MATERIAL

05:26.333 --> 05:27.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
AND NOT QUITE
AS MUCH WATER.

05:27.900 --> 05:29.833 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
THAT IS PALMETTO.
NOW, IS THIS
THE STATE...?

05:29.833 --> 05:31.433 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
IS THAT STATE TREE
OF FLORIDA, RIGHT?

05:31.433 --> 05:32.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THIS IS THE STATE TREE
OF FLORIDA.

05:32.900 --> 05:34.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE LARGEST LEAVES
I GUESS WE COULD SEE HERE.

05:34.866 --> 05:36.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THOSE LONG LEAVES.

05:36.033 --> 05:37.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND THE STEM ON THE LEAF

05:37.166 --> 05:38.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
DOESN'T HAVE ANY JAGGED EDGES
AT ALL.

05:38.700 --> 05:41.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SCIENTIFIC NAME FOR THAT:
SABLE PALMETTO.

05:41.233 --> 05:44.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THAT GIVES IT
THE COMMON NAME OF PALMETTO.

05:44.100 --> 05:46.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THAT'S THE LARGER ONE HERE.

05:46.466 --> 05:48.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
UNDERNEATH, AND SCATTERED
ALL OUT IN FRONT OF US--

05:48.766 --> 05:50.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THE SAW PALMETTO.

05:50.766 --> 05:55.466 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
AND THAT VERY RARELY
HAS A TRUNK THAT GETS
FAR ABOVE THE GROUND

05:55.466 --> 05:59.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT YOU SEE THE FRONDS,
THE LEAVES ARE SMALLER

05:59.033 --> 06:00.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY

06:00.666 --> 06:04.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THERE IS A LITTLE OF A SAW-LIKE
JAGGED EDGE ON SAW PALMETTO.

06:04.600 --> 06:07.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEN THE OTHER TREE
THAT DOMINATES HERE

06:07.233 --> 06:09.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
TALLER THAN ANYTHING ELSE--
SLASH PINE.

06:09.633 --> 06:11.566 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
AND THEY ARE INDEED
SLASH PINES.

06:11.566 --> 06:13.600 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
PRETTY MUCH A
MONOCULTURE OF PINE

06:13.600 --> 06:15.500 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
IN TERMS OF THIS
LARGE ACREAGE.

06:15.500 --> 06:17.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH. AND I SEE UNDERNEATH,
UNDERSTORY.

06:17.600 --> 06:19.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WAX MYRTLE HERE,
JUST SCATTERED ALONG

06:19.700 --> 06:21.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WITH A LITTLE BIT
OF FRUIT ON IT

06:21.300 --> 06:23.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU CAN SEE SCATTERED
HERE AND THERE.

06:23.200 --> 06:25.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
TYPICAL HIGHER GROUND AREAS.

06:25.100 --> 06:27.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT I NOTICED SOMETHING
AS WE WALKED UP--

06:27.833 --> 06:29.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THIS IS A SIGN
THAT WATER LEVELS

06:29.933 --> 06:31.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
HAVE BEEN HIGHER
IN THE PAST

06:31.766 --> 06:35.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BECAUSE HERE ARE SOME
INTERESTING FRESHWATER SNAILS.

06:35.333 --> 06:36.566 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
RUDY, THAT APPLE SNAIL

06:36.566 --> 06:38.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
IS SO IMPORTANT TO
THE DIET OF THE KITE.

06:38.766 --> 06:41.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, THE EVERGLADES KITE
FEEDS EXCLUSIVELY ON THIS

06:41.600 --> 06:43.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THE LIMPKIN
FEEDS ON THIS A LOT.

06:43.533 --> 06:45.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
TWO BIRDS
THAT ARE FOUND HERE.

06:45.166 --> 06:46.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
INTERESTING SNAILS.

06:46.333 --> 06:48.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
DOES HAVE STRIPES ON IT
WHEN IT'S YOUNG.

06:48.466 --> 06:50.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU SEE THEM VERY CLEARLY.
SEE THAT?

06:50.466 --> 06:51.700 align:left position:70% line:89% size:20%
MM-HMM.

06:51.700 --> 06:53.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEN TWIST IT
ON AROUND

06:53.166 --> 06:54.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND YOU CAN
KIND OF LOOK DOWN

06:54.766 --> 06:56.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
IN THE THROAT
OF THIS THING.

06:56.333 --> 06:57.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ONE OF THE UNIVALVES.

06:57.466 --> 06:59.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ONE OF THE FRESHWATER SNAILS

06:59.133 --> 07:01.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT REALLY, REALLY
IS ABUNDANT HERE

07:01.266 --> 07:03.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEY START OFF SMALL
AND GET TO BE--

07:03.433 --> 07:05.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THIS-- FAIRLY LARGE.

07:05.066 --> 07:06.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THAT IS A NEAT ANIMAL.

07:06.333 --> 07:07.966 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
AND DEPENDENT
ON THE WATER.

07:07.966 --> 07:09.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, AN INTERESTING
QUESTION--

07:09.900 --> 07:12.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WHERE DOES THE CALCIUM CARBONATE
COME FROM

07:12.533 --> 07:14.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT THE SHELL
IS MADE OUT OF?

07:14.366 --> 07:16.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WELL, IT COMES
FROM THE LIMESTONE--

07:16.433 --> 07:18.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT'S CALCIUM CARBONATE,
RIGHT?--

07:18.400 --> 07:20.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THAT FORMED ON OCEAN FLOOR

07:20.066 --> 07:22.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND NOW THIS ANIMAL
HAS GOTTEN THAT MATERIAL

07:22.833 --> 07:24.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND MADE A SHELL OUT OF IT.

07:24.566 --> 07:26.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I LOVE THIS ONE.

07:26.066 --> 07:27.300 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
AND WHAT'S THAT ONE?

07:27.300 --> 07:29.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
COMMON NAME FOR THIS
IS RAMSHORN SNAIL.

07:29.766 --> 07:31.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I THINK THAT
MAKES GOOD SENSE.

07:31.566 --> 07:32.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THAT.

07:32.800 --> 07:35.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT THE SHAPE OF THAT--
LIKE A RAMSHORN.

07:35.300 --> 07:37.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND BOTH OF THEM,
VERY, VERY COMMON

07:37.366 --> 07:39.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IN FRESHWATER SITUATIONS
RIGHT HERE.

07:39.566 --> 07:41.066 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
AND A PERFECT PLACE
TO FIND THE SNAILS

07:41.066 --> 07:43.066 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THIS
MARSH AND VERY WET AREA.

07:43.066 --> 07:45.600 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
I GUESS THOSE TALLER
CYPRESS BEHIND US.

07:45.600 --> 07:48.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, THOSE ARE CYPRESSES
OVER THERE.

07:48.000 --> 07:50.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AGAIN, THE POND CYPRESS
NEVER GETTING LARGE

07:50.800 --> 07:52.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT BIG CYPRESS, NOW,
GETS THE NAME

07:52.533 --> 07:55.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
NOT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE
OF THE TREES THAT ARE HERE TODAY

07:55.333 --> 07:57.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT BECAUSE IT'S SUCH
A BIG PRESERVE HERE.

07:57.433 --> 07:58.900 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
WELL, PRESERVED
728,000 ACRES

07:58.900 --> 08:01.366 align:left position:50% line:77% size:40%
AND WHAT A JOB
IT WAS TO PULL
IT ALL TOGETHER.

08:01.366 --> 08:03.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK OUT IN THE MARSH THERE.
LOOK OUT IN THE MARSH!

08:03.300 --> 08:05.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WAY OUT THERE, AND THOSE
ARE ROSEATE SPOONBILLS.

08:05.200 --> 08:06.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I KNOW IT.

08:06.200 --> 08:07.266 align:left position:50% line:89% size:40%
THE PINK! PINK!

08:07.266 --> 08:09.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT 'EM.
GET THE GLASSES UP.

08:09.266 --> 08:11.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND YOU CAN SEE
THAT SPOON-SHAPED BILL...

08:11.366 --> 08:13.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THAT EXTRA RED
RIGHT ON THE SHOULDERS.

08:13.566 --> 08:15.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT THAT BIRD
OUT THERE!

08:15.000 --> 08:16.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
IT'S RARE TO SEE
A PINK BIRD ANYWHERE...

08:16.833 --> 08:17.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
YEAH!

08:17.900 --> 08:19.366 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
BUT HERE WE'VE
GOT A NICE RED WASH

08:19.366 --> 08:20.400 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
ON THE WINGS, AS WELL.

08:20.400 --> 08:21.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OH, YEAH.

08:21.466 --> 08:22.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I SEE A FEW
WHITE IBISES, I THINK

08:22.866 --> 08:24.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WORKING AROUND
BEHIND THEM

08:24.066 --> 08:25.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET
A LITTLE CLOSER LOOK

08:25.900 --> 08:26.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AT THE WHITE IBISES.

08:26.933 --> 08:28.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT ROSEATE SPOONBILLS,
CLEARLY.

08:28.166 --> 08:29.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
COUPLE OF THEM
OFF IN THE DISTANCE

08:29.533 --> 08:30.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
JUST MOVING THEIR BEAKS

08:30.633 --> 08:32.066 align:left position:37.5% line:77% size:52.5%
SIDE TO SIDE. YEAH.
SIDE TO SIDE...

08:32.066 --> 08:34.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
TRYING TO GET INVERTEBRATES
OUT OF THE GOO OUT THERE.

08:34.733 --> 08:36.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
GOSH, THAT
IS A BEAUTIFUL BIRD.

08:46.733 --> 08:48.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
IT'S A LITTLE WETTER HERE

08:48.166 --> 08:49.800 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
ALONG THE TURNER RIVER CANAL

08:49.800 --> 08:53.100 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
AND, AGAIN, WILL GIVE
US A CHANCE TO SEE
MORE OF THE BIRDS.

08:53.100 --> 08:55.800 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
WELL OVER 300 ON THE LIST
HERE AT THE PRESERVE.

08:55.800 --> 08:57.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
YEAH, WATER REALLY, REALLY

08:57.300 --> 09:00.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
DOES MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
IN THE WORLD AND, UH...

09:00.300 --> 09:02.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THIS IS A MAN-MADE CANAL,
OF COURSE

09:02.366 --> 09:03.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
BUT IT'S FILLING WITH LOTS

09:03.900 --> 09:05.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OF INTERESTING
PLANT MATERIAL, TOO.

09:05.900 --> 09:08.200 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
OF COURSE, CATTAILS, I SEE.

09:08.200 --> 09:10.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
CATTAILS-- YEAH, YEAH,
EVERYWHERE HERE

09:10.266 --> 09:11.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND A FEW INTERESTING TREES.

09:11.800 --> 09:13.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
KIND OF STRANGE ONES
ON THE SIDE.

09:13.666 --> 09:16.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I SEE FRUIT ALREADY
ON THE RED MAPLE UP THERE.

09:16.300 --> 09:17.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
BRIGHT RED IN COLOR.

09:17.500 --> 09:19.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND WILLOWS
SCATTERED AROUND

09:19.366 --> 09:21.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND A FEW MORE
OF THOSE CYPRESSES.

09:21.700 --> 09:22.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
WELL, NOW, LOOK AT THIS--

09:22.966 --> 09:24.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
YOU GET SUNLIGHT UP HERE

09:24.200 --> 09:26.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THERE ARE THE TURTLES
OUT SUNNING.

09:26.100 --> 09:27.466 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
RUDY, WHAT KIND IS IT?

09:27.466 --> 09:29.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOKS LIKE THE FLORIDA
RED-BELLIED TURTLE TO ME, JIM

09:29.900 --> 09:32.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BECAUSE OF THAT REDDISH
ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE SHELL

09:32.566 --> 09:35.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND A LITTLE BIT OF RED
ON THE TOP PART OF THE SHELL.

09:35.200 --> 09:37.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
DOMED UP, TOO, BUT JUST
WARMING UP IN THE SUNLIGHT.

09:37.766 --> 09:40.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
ON THAT LIMESTONE, I GUESS
HE CRAWLS OUT OF THE WATER

09:40.400 --> 09:42.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
BECAUSE OF ALGAE PROBLEMS
ON OCCASION.

09:42.300 --> 09:44.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
GETS RID OF PARASITES
UP THERE, TOO.

09:44.066 --> 09:46.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
IF HE CAN DRY OUT,
MAYBE THE LEECHES
WILL DROP OFF.

09:46.566 --> 09:48.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND LOOK WHAT HE DOES,
DROPPING INTO THE WATER

09:48.866 --> 09:50.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ONCE HE SEES US
OR HEARS US OVER HERE.

09:50.766 --> 09:54.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ANOTHER ONE OF THE REPTILES
OUT IN THE SUN-- ALLIGATOR.

09:54.133 --> 09:55.366 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
THE SMALL ALLIGATORS.

09:55.366 --> 09:57.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
WE'VE GOT, I'M SURE,
ALLIGATORS OF ALL SIZES

09:57.500 --> 09:58.500 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
HERE IN THE SWAMP.

09:58.500 --> 09:59.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, THEY'RE
DOING GREAT.

09:59.900 --> 10:02.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THIS STANDING WATER
IN THE CANAL WITH LOTS OF FISH

10:02.866 --> 10:04.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
PERFECT SITUATION FOR THEM.

10:04.400 --> 10:06.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEY'LL TAKE BIRDS
AND OTHER THINGS.

10:06.666 --> 10:10.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MAYBE LIKE THAT MOORHEN
THAT'S COMING DOWN THE WAY.

10:10.466 --> 10:11.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ORANGE ON THE BEAK.

10:11.566 --> 10:13.166 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OLD NAME IS COMMON GALLINULE

10:13.166 --> 10:15.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT MOORHEN IS THE NAME
THAT IT'S KNOWN AS NOW.

10:15.966 --> 10:17.800 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
AND THE MOORHEN'S
RATHER COMMON

10:17.800 --> 10:19.400 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
ALONG WATER
AREAS LIKE THIS.

10:19.400 --> 10:22.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ABSOLUTELY. FEEDING
ON PLANT MATERIAL IN THE WATER.

10:22.400 --> 10:24.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I SEE ANOTHER ONE
OVER THERE

10:24.233 --> 10:26.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT JUST DOES NOT
TO BE SEEN, I GUESS.

10:26.833 --> 10:27.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
FROZEN IN PLACE.

10:27.933 --> 10:29.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
GREAT BLUE HERON.

10:29.100 --> 10:31.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT THE SIZE
OF THAT BIRD.

10:31.100 --> 10:33.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
THE LARGEST BIRD...
I GUESS THE TALLEST...

10:33.500 --> 10:36.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
ONE OF THE TALLEST WE
WOULD SEE IN THE SWAMP.

10:36.133 --> 10:37.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OH, YEAH.

10:37.266 --> 10:39.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT LONG BEAK, NOW,
GETS FROGS OR FISH

10:39.300 --> 10:41.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OR SMALL SNAKES AND EVEN
OTHER BIRDS SOMETIMES

10:41.766 --> 10:44.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND CHANGES THEM INTO...
INTO GREAT BLUE HERON.

10:44.266 --> 10:45.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
BUT HARDLY MOVING.

10:45.666 --> 10:48.133 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
THAT FREEZING PATTERN IS
PART OF A STYLE OF HUNTING.

10:48.133 --> 10:49.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OH, YEAH. ABSOLUTELY.

10:49.233 --> 10:50.600 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND BLENDING IN, TOO, NOW

10:50.600 --> 10:52.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WHEN A PREDATOR
SHOWS UP LIKE US.

10:52.333 --> 10:53.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
DOWN THE WAY, TOO

10:53.533 --> 10:55.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I THINK THOSE ARE YELLOW LEGS
DOWN THERE.

10:55.600 --> 10:56.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THOSE BIRDS.

10:56.766 --> 10:57.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
A GROUP OF THEM.

10:57.766 --> 10:59.733 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
OH, YES, THAT
LIGHTISH BROWN.

10:59.733 --> 11:03.666 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
THEY'RE HARD TO TELL
AMONG SOME OF THE
OTHER WADING BIRDS.

11:03.666 --> 11:05.100 align:left position:60% line:77% size:30%
YELLOW LEGS.
YEAH, YELLOW LEGS.

11:05.100 --> 11:06.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
YEAH, THAT'S A NEAT ONE.

11:06.233 --> 11:07.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
THAT'S A PRETTY
COMMON ONE HERE.

11:07.700 --> 11:09.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I KEEP HEARING SOMETHING.
WHAT IS THAT?

11:09.833 --> 11:11.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OH, LOOK AT THIS...
LITTLE, UH...

11:11.633 --> 11:12.733 align:left position:70% line:89% size:20%
MOORHEN?

11:12.733 --> 11:14.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MOORHEN COMING IN.
A LITTLE FUZZBALL.

11:14.933 --> 11:17.566 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
MAYBE A FEW WEEKS;
MAYBE A MONTH
AT THE MOST.

11:17.566 --> 11:18.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OH, MY GOODNESS.

11:18.566 --> 11:20.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THAT SMALL ANIMAL

11:20.033 --> 11:21.666 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND MAKING A PEEPING SOUND.

11:21.666 --> 11:24.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I GUESS TRYING TO ATTRACT
ONE OF THE PARENTS TO FEED IT.

11:24.966 --> 11:27.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT
THAT LITTLE BIRD IS SAYING:

11:27.766 --> 11:29.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
"FEED ME, FEED ME,
FEED ME."

11:29.400 --> 11:31.633 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
THAT'S A TREAT HERE IN
THE SWAMP TO SEE THAT.

11:31.633 --> 11:33.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, I'M SURPRISED
THIS EARLY IN THE YEAR

11:33.733 --> 11:35.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND GETTING OVER
BY ONE OF THE PARENTS.

11:35.700 --> 11:37.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AW, THAT'S NEAT TO SEE
THE ADULT

11:37.300 --> 11:38.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEN THE VERY, VERY
YOUNG ONE

11:38.933 --> 11:40.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
FIGURING THE YOUNG ONE
WILL END UP

11:40.633 --> 11:42.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOKING LIKE THE ADULT
EVENTUALLY.

11:42.333 --> 11:43.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THAT IS A NEAT ANIMAL.

11:43.466 --> 11:45.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ANHINGA, OVER THERE, TOO.

11:45.033 --> 11:47.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
NOW HERE'S ONE
THAT YOU ALWAYS ASSOCIATE

11:47.533 --> 11:50.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WITH DITCHES LIKE THIS
FILLED WITH FISH.

11:50.000 --> 11:51.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
"SNAKEBIRD" ANOTHER NAME.

11:51.466 --> 11:53.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LONG, SNAKELIKE NECK,
LONG BEAK.

11:53.466 --> 11:54.600 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
AND A SEX DIFFERENCE

11:54.600 --> 11:56.300 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
IN TERMS OF THE
COLOR PATTERNS.

11:56.300 --> 11:57.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, THE FEMALE
IS THAT ONE

11:57.900 --> 11:59.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT'S GOT BROWN
ON THE NECK

11:59.533 --> 12:01.200 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND ON UP TOWARD THE HEAD.

12:01.200 --> 12:03.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AGAIN, KIND OF WARMING UP
IN THE SUN

12:03.233 --> 12:04.433 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
BUT ALSO DRYING OUT.

12:04.433 --> 12:06.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ANHINGAS GET OUT
OF THE WATER

12:06.100 --> 12:08.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
TO GET RID OF WATER
THAT GETS ON THE BODY

12:08.500 --> 12:09.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
'CAUSE THEY SWIM A LOT.

12:09.900 --> 12:11.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
NOW, IS THIS A MALE OVER
HERE ON THE OTHER SIDE?

12:11.966 --> 12:13.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
UH, THAT... YEAH.
THAT'S THE MALE.

12:13.966 --> 12:14.966 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
YOU SEE ALL DARK?

12:14.966 --> 12:16.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
VERY, VERY BLACK
ON THE NECK.

12:16.666 --> 12:19.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WELL, A LITTLE BIT
OF WHITE FEATHERS, TOO

12:19.100 --> 12:21.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT BASICALLY BLACK
ON THE NECK.

12:21.000 --> 12:23.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND A LITTLE BIT OF BLUISH COLOR
AROUND THE EYES.

12:23.900 --> 12:27.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT ONE'S IN BREEDING PLUMAGE
NOW, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

12:27.300 --> 12:29.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT THAT IS A NEAT ANIMAL
UP THERE.

12:29.366 --> 12:30.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
NOW HERE'S ANOTHER ONE--

12:30.833 --> 12:33.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ON THE BRANCH STICKING
OUT THE WATER--

12:33.100 --> 12:34.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
SEE THE TRICOLORED HERON?

12:34.733 --> 12:37.466 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
OH, YEAH-- OLD NAME
LOUISIANA HERON?

12:37.466 --> 12:41.633 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
RIGHT. SNEAKING DOWN,
LOOKS LIKE HE'S GETTING
READY TO GRAB A FISH

12:41.633 --> 12:44.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THE FISH IS WIGGLING
IN ITS BEAK OUT THERE.

12:44.633 --> 12:47.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND AGAIN, CHANGING FISH
INTO TRICOLORED HERON.

12:47.700 --> 12:48.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
GOSH, THAT'S NEAT.

12:48.833 --> 12:50.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THERE'S SO MANY ANIMALS
RIGHT HERE.

12:50.266 --> 12:52.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

12:52.500 --> 12:54.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I SEE A LITTLE BLUE HERON
OVER THERE, TOO.

12:54.433 --> 12:55.633 align:left position:60% line:89% size:30%
OH, YEAH.

12:55.633 --> 12:56.800 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LITTLE BLUE.

12:56.800 --> 12:58.266 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
SOLID COLOR BLUE.

12:58.266 --> 13:01.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MM-HMM. LITTLE BIT OF REDDISH
TINGE ON THE NECK SOMETIMES

13:01.766 --> 13:03.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
BUT BASICALLY ONE COLOR

13:03.233 --> 13:05.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND, UH... BE FINDING
PLENTY OF FOOD

13:05.233 --> 13:06.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
RIGHT ALONG THE CANAL HERE.

13:06.766 --> 13:08.100 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT.

13:08.100 --> 13:10.366 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
NOW, THE VERY YOUNG LITTLE
BLUE WOULD BE ALL WHITE.

13:10.366 --> 13:12.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WELL, THERE'S ONE
RIGHT OVER THERE.

13:12.266 --> 13:13.600 align:left position:60% line:89% size:30%
OH, YEAH.

13:13.600 --> 13:15.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THERE IS AN IMMATURE
LITTLE BLUE HERON.

13:15.633 --> 13:17.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
GREENISH LEGS...

13:17.300 --> 13:19.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND NOTICE THE BEAK
HAS THAT DARK END ON IT.

13:19.533 --> 13:20.566 align:left position:60% line:89% size:30%
TWO COLOR.

13:20.566 --> 13:21.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, YEAH,
AND THAT'S TYPICAL.

13:21.866 --> 13:23.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT WHITE
EVERYWHERE ELSE.

13:23.000 --> 13:24.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
IT IS KIND OF CONFUSING

13:24.266 --> 13:25.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER
WHITE BIRDS OUT THERE

13:25.966 --> 13:28.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE ONE THAT'S THE MOST SHOWY
RIGHT NOW

13:28.400 --> 13:29.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
IS THE SNOWY EGRET.

13:29.933 --> 13:32.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WHICH, DID YOU SEE THE ONE
OUT OF THE WATER THERE?

13:32.900 --> 13:35.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU CAN SEE THE YELLOW
OR GOLDEN COLOR FEET

13:35.466 --> 13:37.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
BLACK LEGS.

13:37.133 --> 13:38.733 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
"GOLDEN SLIPPERS"
THE OTHER NAME.

13:38.733 --> 13:41.166 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
AND THAT'S BREEDING PLUMAGE
THIS TIME OF YEAR.

13:41.166 --> 13:42.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
OH, MAN-- OUT OF THE WATER

13:42.700 --> 13:44.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE WIND BLOWING IT
A LITTLE BIT.

13:44.300 --> 13:47.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT THE BREEDING PLUMAGE--
FEATHERS ON THAT THING.

13:47.200 --> 13:50.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
THAT IS REALLY SPECTACULAR,
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

13:50.333 --> 13:54.733 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
STANDING HERE IN
ONE SPOT AND SO MANY
DIFFERENT THINGS TO SEE.

13:54.733 --> 13:57.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU JUST GOT
TO SLOW DOWN AND LOOK.

13:57.233 --> 13:59.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I SAW A KINGFISHER
COME IN. LOOK RIGHT THERE.

13:59.633 --> 14:02.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
FEMALE NOW, BECAUSE
IF YOU LOOK ON THE BREAST

14:02.100 --> 14:05.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THERE'S A BLUE BAND AND THEN
THERE'S A BROWN ONE BELOW IT.

14:05.200 --> 14:08.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
REALLY, I GUESS I SHOULD SAY
THOSE ARE BELTS, RIGHT?

14:08.000 --> 14:10.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BECAUSE THAT IS
THE BELTED KINGFISHER.

14:10.033 --> 14:11.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE FEMALE HAS
THE BROWN BAND.

14:11.833 --> 14:13.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE MALE DOES NOT.
NEAT ANIMAL.

14:13.700 --> 14:16.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
ANOTHER BIRD OVER HERE,
THE GREEN-BACKED HERON.

14:16.733 --> 14:18.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THAT THING.

14:18.233 --> 14:20.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
A VERY LONG NECK

14:20.066 --> 14:22.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT IT'S GOT A LONG NECK;
FROZEN IN POSITION THERE.

14:22.666 --> 14:24.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
WELL, MOVING A LITTLE BIT.

14:24.233 --> 14:25.733 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
YEAH, DOWN
THE BRANCH.

14:25.733 --> 14:27.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SNEAKING
A LITTLE BIT DOWN.

14:27.400 --> 14:29.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, YOU CAN SEE
THE LEGS A LITTLE BIT.

14:29.700 --> 14:32.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
GETTING CLOSER TO
THE WATER, I IMAGINE,
SO HE CAN GRAB FISH.

14:32.733 --> 14:35.233 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
LATE JANUARY, WINTER DAY,
BUT IT'S WARMING UP HERE

14:35.233 --> 14:37.966 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
AND ALSO, WHERE THE
PLAINS IN AND OUT,
IT'S EASY TO KNOW

14:37.966 --> 14:40.400 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
WE'RE BETWEEN TWO BIG
CITIES-- NAPLES AND MIAMI.

14:40.400 --> 14:43.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND A GREAT VARIETY
OF ANIMALS ARE HERE ANYWAY

14:43.200 --> 14:46.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
NO MATTER WHAT HUMANS
ARE DOING, AND THAT'S NICE.

14:46.233 --> 14:48.066 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
IT'S FRAGILE, A VERY
FRAGILE ENVIRONMENT.

14:48.066 --> 14:50.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WELL, IT'S AN AREA
THAT CAN BE CHANGED

14:50.233 --> 14:52.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
DRASTICALLY
BY HUMAN ACTIVITY.

14:52.066 --> 14:54.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THANK GOODNESS, YOU KNOW,
WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT IT.

14:54.666 --> 14:57.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND NOT ONLY LOW AREAS
LIKE THIS WHERE THERE'S WATER.

14:57.333 --> 14:59.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
HIGHER AREAS
ARE INTERESTING, TOO.

14:59.333 --> 15:01.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WE WANT TO TAKE A LOOK
AT A HARDWOOD HAMMOCK NEXT.

15:08.566 --> 15:10.866 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
IT IS DARKER BACK
HERE IN THE HAMMOCK

15:10.866 --> 15:14.900 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
BUT THIS TRAIL GIVES US
A GOOD CHANCE TO GET
INSIDE OF A HAMMOCK.

15:14.900 --> 15:16.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, AND THIS IS
A MIXED HARDWOOD HAMMOCK

15:16.933 --> 15:19.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SO THERE ARE QUITE A FEW
INTERESTING PLANTS HERE, AND...

15:19.733 --> 15:22.300 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
IN FACT, IN FACT,
RUDY, IT'S CALLED

15:22.300 --> 15:24.466 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
"THE TREE SNAIL
NATURE TRAIL"

15:24.466 --> 15:26.333 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
AND LOOK WHAT I FOUND

15:26.333 --> 15:29.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
AND THEY COME IN OVER
50 DIFFERENT PATTERNS.

15:29.500 --> 15:31.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THESE ARE
ALL REPRESENTATIVES

15:31.033 --> 15:33.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OF THE FLORIDA
BANDED TREE SNAIL, JIM.

15:33.133 --> 15:35.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
PRETTY COMMON HERE, REALLY,
BUT PROBABLY, YOU KNOW

15:35.600 --> 15:38.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
A CUBAN SPECIES THAT ARRIVED
HERE BECAUSE OF HURRICANES.

15:38.233 --> 15:39.733 align:left position:70% line:89% size:20%
MM-HMM.

15:39.733 --> 15:42.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND YOU CAN SEE
THAT SOME OF THEM ARE BANDED

15:42.166 --> 15:45.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND SOME OF THEM REALLY
DON'T HAVE MANY BANDS AT ALL

15:45.000 --> 15:46.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
BUT THAT'S NEAT, ISN'T IT?

15:46.733 --> 15:48.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ANOTHER ONE
OF THE... UH, UNIVALVES

15:48.700 --> 15:50.400 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ONE OF THE GASTROPODS.

15:50.400 --> 15:53.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT THE... LOOK AT
THE MARKINGS ON THAT THING

15:53.133 --> 15:55.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THE BIG OPENING
FOR THE BODY TO SLIP OUT.

15:55.666 --> 15:58.566 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
FEEDING ON FUNGI, MAINLY;
CLIMBING UP SIDES OF TREES

15:58.566 --> 16:00.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND OFTENTIMES,
WHEN THE WEATHER'S DRY

16:00.700 --> 16:03.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
JUST FREEZING IN POSITION
AND NOT REALLY MOVING AT ALL.

16:03.866 --> 16:06.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT FLORIDA BANDED TREE SNAIL
IS THE COMMON NAME.

16:06.633 --> 16:09.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SOME OF THEM DON'T EVEN HAVE
ANY BANDS AT ALL.

16:09.200 --> 16:12.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT THAT'LL SHOW YOU A PRETTY
GOOD BIT OF THE VARIATION.

16:12.366 --> 16:14.466 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
OF COURSE, LIKE
EVERYTHING IN A
NATIONAL PRESERVE

16:14.466 --> 16:16.233 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
THEY ARE PROTECTED,
SO WE'LL LEAVE THEM.

16:16.233 --> 16:19.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
ABSOLUTELY, AND WHEN
YOU FIND A NUMBER OF
THOSE DOWN ON THE GROUND

16:19.500 --> 16:22.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU SHOULD FIND THINGS OVERHEAD,
AND LOOK RIGHT UP HERE

16:22.266 --> 16:24.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
HANGING DOWN
RIGHT ABOVE US.

16:24.066 --> 16:26.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND LOOK AT THE BANDS
ON THAT ONE, NOW.

16:26.400 --> 16:28.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AGAIN, BANDED TREE SNAIL

16:28.133 --> 16:30.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IS A PRETTY GOOD
COMMON NAME FOR THAT.

16:30.500 --> 16:32.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
FROZEN IN PLACE NOW,
PROBABLY CLOSED IN

16:32.966 --> 16:35.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BECAUSE IT'S GETTING
A LITTLE DRIER, BUT, UH...

16:35.966 --> 16:38.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ESTIVATING--
THAT'S THE TERM FOR IT.

16:38.233 --> 16:40.000 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THEY'RE NOT VERY ACTIVE

16:40.000 --> 16:42.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT LOOK AT THE MARKINGS
ON THAT ONE THERE.

16:42.800 --> 16:44.566 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
HERE'S ANOTHER ONE
OVER HERE, RUDY

16:44.566 --> 16:46.233 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
A DIFFERENT
ONE ALTOGETHER.

16:46.233 --> 16:49.233 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
YEAH, WELL, REALLY, SEE,
IT'S THE SAME SPECIES,
BUT ITS VARIATION...

16:49.233 --> 16:51.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
<i>LIGUUS </i>IS THE GENUS NAME

16:51.066 --> 16:52.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND UH, INTERESTING
LITTLE ANIMAL.

16:52.966 --> 16:55.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AGAIN, MAYBE NOT
AS DARKLY BANDED AS THE OTHERS

16:55.333 --> 16:57.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT YOU CAN SEE
SOME BANDING ON THAT ONE, TOO

16:57.600 --> 17:00.833 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
AND THAT'S A LARGER
INDIVIDUAL HANGING ON
THE SIDE OF THAT TREE

17:00.833 --> 17:02.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND REALLY,
YOU LOOK OVER HERE...

17:02.866 --> 17:05.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I MEAN, ALL AROUND US,
SOME OF THEM REALLY HAVE

17:05.533 --> 17:07.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
VERY LITTLE BANDING
ON THEM AT ALL

17:07.466 --> 17:09.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT A LOT OF VARIATION,
AND AGAIN

17:09.433 --> 17:11.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SPECIES THAT PROBABLY CAME
FROM THE WEST INDIES

17:11.966 --> 17:13.633 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
REALLY FROM CUBA.

17:13.633 --> 17:15.966 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
AND NEED PROTECTION,
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
PLANTS AROUND US?

17:15.966 --> 17:17.633 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
SEVERAL HARDWOODS,
AS YOU SAID.

17:17.633 --> 17:20.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
MOST OF THE PLANTS
THAT ARE HERE ARE
WEST INDIAN SPECIES.

17:20.400 --> 17:22.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE ONE UP THERE
WITH THE PEELY BARK ON IT

17:22.566 --> 17:24.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE REDDISH BARK
THAT'S STRIPPING AWAY...

17:24.733 --> 17:26.233 align:left position:60% line:89% size:30%
GUMBO-LIMBO.

17:26.233 --> 17:28.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
GUMBO-LIMBO
IS THE COMMON NAME FOR THAT

17:28.033 --> 17:30.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WEST INDIES AND HERE
IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA.

17:30.433 --> 17:33.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT GETS ABOUT HALFWAY UP
THE PENINSULA OF FLORIDA.

17:33.400 --> 17:35.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
USED MEDICINALLY.

17:35.066 --> 17:38.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
YOU KNOW, THE RESINS
IN THAT PLANT ARE
USED MEDICINALLY.

17:38.400 --> 17:41.366 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
AND SOME HAVE
ACTUALLY CALLED IT
THE "TOURIST TREE"

17:41.366 --> 17:42.933 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
BECAUSE OF
THE SUNBURNED

17:42.933 --> 17:45.066 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
PEELY SKIN, IT
LOOKS LIKE ON IT.

17:45.066 --> 17:47.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND THE REDDISH COLOR, HUH?

17:47.066 --> 17:50.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ANOTHER ONE DOWN HERE--
WILD COFFEE THAT'S WIDESPREAD.

17:50.500 --> 17:54.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
I MEAN, THAT'S ONE YOU
EXPECT TO SEE HERE; THOSE
ODD-LOOKING LEAVES ON IT

17:54.733 --> 17:57.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND, UH, ANOTHER ONE,
A COCOPLUM, IT'S CALLED.

17:57.233 --> 17:59.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT'S A MEMBER
OF THE ROSE FAMILY.

17:59.100 --> 18:02.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE FRUIT ON THAT THING IS
ACTUALLY, UH, YOU KNOW, EDIBLE.

18:02.066 --> 18:03.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
I DON'T SEE FRUIT RIGHT NOW

18:03.900 --> 18:06.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT IT IS
EDIBLE FRUIT ON IT.

18:06.233 --> 18:08.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
INTERESTING SHAPED
ROUNDED LEAVES--

18:08.666 --> 18:11.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
VERY, VERY TYPICAL
OF THIS PART OF FLORIDA

18:11.600 --> 18:14.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND AGAIN, CONNECTED
TO THE WEST INDIES.

18:21.566 --> 18:24.466 align:left position:50% line:77% size:40%
THE LOOP ROAD
REALLY PROVIDES
BEST OPPORTUNITY

18:24.466 --> 18:27.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
TO GET INTO THE HEART
OF THE CYPRESS SWAMPS

18:27.600 --> 18:31.900 align:left position:32.5% line:77% size:57.5%
AND TO EXPERIENCE THE
NATURE OF BIG CYPRESS
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

18:31.900 --> 18:34.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, WE'RE CLOSE
TO LOTS OF HUMAN ACTIVITY

18:34.700 --> 18:37.900 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
AND YET WE CAN GET AWAY
AND SEE SIGHTS LIKE THIS

18:37.900 --> 18:40.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
AND REALLY HEAR
SOUNDS LIKE THIS

18:40.233 --> 18:41.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AS SOON AS WE WALK UP.

18:41.566 --> 18:43.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LISTEN TO THE FISH.

18:43.066 --> 18:45.400 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
YEAH, IT'S THE
FISH SPLASHING.

18:45.400 --> 18:46.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
POPPING ALL OVER
THE PLACE.

18:46.966 --> 18:49.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT'S LIKE A BIG AQUARIUM
THAT WE'RE LOOKING INTO

18:49.266 --> 18:51.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MAINLY FLORIDA GAR
AND I MEAN IN LARGE NUMBERS.

18:51.566 --> 18:53.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THOSE THINGS.

18:53.066 --> 18:54.733 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
THOSE ARE LONG ANIMALS

18:54.733 --> 18:56.733 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
AND NOT REALLY
A GOOD FOOD FISH

18:56.733 --> 18:58.900 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
BUT PART OF THE
WEB OF LIFE HERE.

18:58.900 --> 19:00.500 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
SOME PEOPLE EAT THEM.

19:00.500 --> 19:03.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THEY DO HAVE BONY, UH, SCALES
THAT ARE KIND OF INTERESTING.

19:03.833 --> 19:06.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
A VERY PRIMITIVE FISH
FEEDING ON OTHER FISH, USUALLY

19:06.766 --> 19:08.266 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND SPEAKING OF OTHER FISH

19:08.266 --> 19:10.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT ALL THE LITTLE
TINY ONES IN HERE--

19:10.233 --> 19:11.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SMALL FISH UP AGAINST
THAT LIMEROCK.

19:11.933 --> 19:13.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU CAN SEE THEM
VERY, VERY CLEARLY.

19:13.600 --> 19:15.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THAT'S FOOD
FOR A LOT OF THOSE BIRDS.

19:15.566 --> 19:18.500 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
EXACTLY. A LARGE
REASON WE'RE GOING
TO SEE AND HAVE SEEN

19:18.500 --> 19:20.400 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
SO MANY BIRDS HERE
IN THE SWAMP.

19:20.400 --> 19:22.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THE OTHER FISH IN HERE...

19:22.066 --> 19:24.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND I DON'T THINK
THIS IS A NATIVE CATFISH.

19:24.300 --> 19:26.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THIS, I BELIEVE,
IS THE WALKING CATFISH.

19:26.400 --> 19:28.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THE INTRODUCTION?

19:28.066 --> 19:29.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THERE ARE QUITE
A FEW EXOTICS

19:29.733 --> 19:32.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT HAVE CAUSED PROBLEMS
IN THIS PART OF FLORIDA.

19:32.333 --> 19:34.200 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SEE THE LITTLE BARBELS
ON THE FRONT?

19:34.200 --> 19:36.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE WHISKERS LIKE
A CAT'S WHISKERS

19:36.100 --> 19:37.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT GIVE CATFISH
THEIR NAME.

19:37.866 --> 19:41.233 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
COMING UP, MAYBE GETTING
SOME OF THOSE SMALL FISH
RIGHT IN THE SHALLOWS.

19:41.233 --> 19:43.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I DON'T THINK I'VE SEEN
AS MANY FISH IN ONE PLACE

19:43.366 --> 19:46.033 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
BUT MUCH MORE EXCITING
IS OVER AT THE EDGE
OF THE WATER AND SEE

19:46.033 --> 19:47.733 align:left position:50% line:77% size:40%
THE WOOD STORKS
AGAIN FEEDING
THIS TIME.

19:47.733 --> 19:50.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OH, LOOK AT THEM, DOWN IN
THE WATER NOW, MOVING ALONG.

19:50.600 --> 19:52.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT IS AN INTERESTING WAY
TO FIND FOOD--

19:52.800 --> 19:55.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
PUTTING YOUR BEAK DOWN,
OPEN AND THEN MOVING YOUR FOOT

19:55.700 --> 19:57.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SHAKING YOUR FOOT ALONG
A LITTLE BIT

19:57.600 --> 20:00.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
KIND OF FEELING AND SHAKING
AND SCARING THINGS UP

20:00.233 --> 20:01.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND THEY FEED...

20:01.900 --> 20:04.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THEY'LL FEED ON SMALL FISH
AND OTHER VERTEBRATES

20:04.433 --> 20:06.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEN LOTS
OF INVERTEBRATES, TOO--

20:06.400 --> 20:07.900 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
SHRIMP AND OTHER THINGS.

20:07.900 --> 20:10.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT IS SO NEAT TO SEE
A WADING BIRD IN ACTION

20:10.433 --> 20:12.066 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND YOU CAN DO THAT HERE.

20:12.066 --> 20:14.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU SEE A LOT OF, UH,
BEHAVIOR IN THESE ANIMALS

20:14.466 --> 20:16.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WHICH MAKES, UH, THIS PLACE
VERY, VERY SPECIAL.

20:16.900 --> 20:18.733 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
AND THEY'RE SO USED TO PEOPLE.

20:18.733 --> 20:22.700 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
WELL, THE WOOD STORKS
ARE SO IMPORTANT TO
BIRDERS, TO A DEGREE

20:22.700 --> 20:24.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
BECAUSE HERE IS WHERE
YOU NEED TO FIND THEM.

20:24.900 --> 20:27.100 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO FIND THEM MANY
OTHER PLACES.

20:27.100 --> 20:29.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
AND THEY'RE MAKING
A COMEBACK NOW,
THANK GOODNESS

20:29.400 --> 20:31.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND NOT ONLY DO YOU SEE THEM
IN THE WATER...

20:31.300 --> 20:32.833 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
LOOK AT THAT ONE FLYING UP--

20:32.833 --> 20:35.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU CAN SEE THE BLACK ON THE
WINGS-- UP INTO THE TREE.

20:35.100 --> 20:38.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND YOU CAN LOOK IN THOSE
CYPRESSES AND THERE THEY ARE.

20:38.633 --> 20:42.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I MEAN, JUST SITTING AROUND
PREENING, VERY NONCHALANT

20:42.066 --> 20:44.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ON THOSE LONG, SPINDLY LEGS.

20:44.233 --> 20:45.766 align:left position:60% line:83% size:30%
WELL, BEFORE
THE DRAINING

20:45.766 --> 20:47.933 align:left position:50% line:77% size:40%
THERE WERE A
HUNDRED THOUSAND
NESTING PAIRS.

20:47.933 --> 20:50.933 align:left position:30% line:77% size:60%
TODAY, JUST LITERALLY
A FEW THOUSAND HERE
AND THERE, BUT STILL

20:50.933 --> 20:53.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
THEY ARE MAKING A
COMEBACK, AS YOU SAID.

20:53.166 --> 20:54.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, THOSE ARE
REALLY NEAT ANIMALS

20:54.966 --> 20:57.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND AGAIN, AS WE SAID,
THEY'RE IN THE CYPRESSES.

20:57.666 --> 21:01.100 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
I MEAN, THESE ARE BIG
OR LARGER CYPRESSES
THAN WE'VE SEEN SO FAR

21:01.100 --> 21:03.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND YOU CAN SEE
THE FLUTED BASE ON THEM

21:03.566 --> 21:05.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE BUTTRESSED BASE
THAT IS FLUTED

21:05.833 --> 21:07.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND YOU CAN SEE
CYPRESS KNEES--

21:07.900 --> 21:09.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YOU KNOW, THOSE
MODIFIED ROOTS

21:09.900 --> 21:12.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT COME UP MAYBE
FOR GAS EXCHANGE.

21:12.333 --> 21:14.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BOY, THIS WOULD'VE
BEEN INTERESTING

21:14.300 --> 21:16.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WITH THOSE BIGGER BALD
CYPRESSES IN THE PAST.

21:16.900 --> 21:20.033 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
36,000 TRAINLOADS
TAKEN OUT, I GUESS,
IN THE '40s.

21:20.033 --> 21:23.100 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
MADE A BIG CHANGE
HERE, BUT STILL,
A LOT TO SEE.

21:23.100 --> 21:25.333 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THE OTHER THING IN THE TREES
THAT IS AMAZING--

21:25.333 --> 21:28.400 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
THE FIRST TIME I SEE
THESE BIG ONES, THEY
LOOK LIKE BIRD NESTS.

21:28.400 --> 21:32.033 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
THEY DO, OR PINEAPPLES
TO A DEGREE, SOME OF THEM.

21:32.033 --> 21:33.866 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BROMELIAN FAMILY
HAS PINEAPPLES IN IT

21:33.866 --> 21:36.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THERE ARE THE BROMELIANS
SITTING UP THERE--

21:36.266 --> 21:38.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SOME OF THEM WITH
THE FLOWER STALKS COMING OUT.

21:38.666 --> 21:41.133 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT'S THAT REDDISH COLOR
THAT WE SEE.

21:41.133 --> 21:43.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AIR PLANTS IS
ANOTHER NAME FOR THEM

21:43.433 --> 21:45.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THERE ARE ALSO
QUITE A FEW ORCHIDS

21:45.933 --> 21:49.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT GET UP IN TREES HERE--
EPIPHYTIC ORCHIDS.

21:49.000 --> 21:51.000 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
BUT IT'S INTERESTING
LOOKING IN THERE--

21:51.000 --> 21:54.233 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
IT LOOKS LIKE JUST
BALLS OF NESTS, REALLY,
IN FACT, AIR PLANTS.

21:54.233 --> 21:57.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
JIM, LOOK WHAT JUST LANDED
IN THE SUNLIGHT OVER THERE--

21:57.600 --> 21:59.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
ONE OF THE BUCKEYE BUTTERFLIES

21:59.466 --> 22:03.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND I THINK THAT'S THE ONE
CALLED THE "MANGROVE BUCKEYE."

22:03.033 --> 22:05.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
A LITTLE LARGER
THAN THE BUCKEYE

22:05.133 --> 22:07.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
MORE COMMONLY FOUND
IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES

22:07.900 --> 22:10.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND REALLY TYPICAL
OF THIS PART OF FLORIDA

22:10.466 --> 22:12.733 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ASSOCIATED WITH, UH,
BLACK MANGROVES.

22:12.733 --> 22:15.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
THERE IS A LOT TO SEE
ON THIS SIDE, RUDY

22:15.366 --> 22:18.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
BUT IT SEEMS TO OPEN UP
MORE OVER ON THIS SIDE.

22:18.033 --> 22:22.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
OH, YEAH. ISN'T IT NICE
TO HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS
JUST SO CLOSE TOGETHER?

22:22.700 --> 22:24.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AS SOON AS YOU GET HERE,
LOOK AT THAT.

22:24.700 --> 22:27.233 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
BIG ALLIGATOR
RIGHT THERE-- SUNNY.

22:27.233 --> 22:30.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
WHAT A WHOPPER. NOW,
THAT'S THE LARGEST ONE
THAT WE'VE SEEN SO FAR

22:30.000 --> 22:32.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND OUT IN THAT OPEN
THERE IS A LOT MORE SUN

22:32.066 --> 22:33.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OVER THERE THAN
THERE IS RIGHT HERE.

22:33.766 --> 22:35.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WARMING UP,
SLOWLY BUT SURELY

22:35.400 --> 22:37.700 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THERE'S A LOT
OF ACTIVITY AROUND HIM

22:37.700 --> 22:39.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND YET AGAIN,
HE'S JUST WARMING UP.

22:39.800 --> 22:42.966 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
STOMACH MUST BE
VERY, VERY FULL,
OR HE'D BE HUNTING.

22:42.966 --> 22:47.000 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
ANOTHER LITTLE ALLIGATOR
RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM
THERE IN THE WATER.

22:47.000 --> 22:49.633 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
A SINGLE WHITE IBIS
UP THERE NEXT TO
THE AIR PLANT.

22:49.633 --> 22:51.900 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
BOTH HAVE THE RED...
THE RED ON THEM.

22:51.900 --> 22:54.933 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
HEY, LOOK AT THAT
REDDISH-ORANGE BEAK,
CURVED DOWN--

22:54.933 --> 22:59.166 align:left position:12.5% line:77% size:77.5%
TYPICAL OF THE IBISES,
FOR SURE, AND THOSE SORT
OF REDDISH-ORANGE LEGS.

22:59.166 --> 23:03.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
THAT IS A NEAT ANIMAL,
AND THAT IS THE ADULT,
NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.

23:03.200 --> 23:06.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
THAT WAS THE BIRD
WE SAW, REMEMBER,
THE ROSEATE SPOONBILL?

23:06.633 --> 23:08.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SO NOW WE'RE GETTING
A REAL CLOSE LOOK.

23:08.933 --> 23:11.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
VERY, VERY COMMON
THIS TIME OF YEAR HERE.

23:11.400 --> 23:13.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
AND LOOK AT ALL THE
EGRETS OVER HERE, RUDY.

23:13.400 --> 23:15.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
OH, YEAH, THEY'RE ALL
OVER THE PLACE.

23:15.400 --> 23:16.900 align:left position:50% line:89% size:40%
OF ALL KINDS.

23:16.900 --> 23:19.566 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
WELL, YEAH, SNOWY EGRETS,
EVEN BOUNCING AROUND OUT THERE.

23:19.566 --> 23:22.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOK AT ALL OF THE PLUMAGE
ON THOSE SNOWY EGRETS

23:22.066 --> 23:25.033 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
BOUNCING AROUND, AND
THEN OTHERS OUT THERE
FEEDING IN THE WATER.

23:25.033 --> 23:26.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT'S ONE
OF THE BRIGHT WHITE ONES

23:26.933 --> 23:29.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEN THE OTHER ONE NOW,
MUCH LARGER...

23:29.233 --> 23:30.566 align:left position:50% line:89% size:40%
THE GREAT EGRET.

23:30.566 --> 23:32.233 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
THE GREAT EGRET.

23:32.233 --> 23:34.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
LONGER NECK,
THE YELLOWISH BEAK
ON THE GREAT EGRET.

23:34.766 --> 23:36.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
LOOKING FOR A MEAL
OUT THERE, TOO.

23:36.600 --> 23:40.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
I MEAN, PROBING, AND YET,
SEE, NOW THAT CAN GO IN
DEEPER WATER, RIGHT?--

23:40.700 --> 23:44.100 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
THE SNOWY-- BECAUSE IT
HAS LONGER LEGS AND
IS A LONGER BIRD.

23:44.100 --> 23:46.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
I ALSO SEE OUT THERE
THE IMMATURE WHITE IBIS NOW.

23:46.366 --> 23:48.400 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THERE IS A DIRTY-LOOKING...
SEE THAT?

23:48.400 --> 23:50.066 align:left position:60% line:89% size:30%
OH, YEAH.

23:50.066 --> 23:52.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
...IBIS, WHICH IS REALLY WHAT
THE IMMATURE WOULD LOOK LIKE--

23:52.933 --> 23:55.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
SORT OF BROWN ON IT,
WITH THAT ORANGE BEAK AGAIN

23:55.266 --> 23:56.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
CURVED DOWN
LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT

23:56.933 --> 23:58.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND HUNTING FOR FISH
AND INVERTEBRATES.

23:58.900 --> 24:01.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY
OUT THERE IS DOING

24:01.033 --> 24:03.533 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND REALLY, IT'S NEAT
TO STAND IN ONE PLACE

24:03.533 --> 24:05.433 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND SEE ALL
OF THIS ACTIVITY--

24:05.433 --> 24:08.233 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
GREAT EGRET UP FRONT,
LITTLE OF EVERYTHING BEHIND IT.

24:08.233 --> 24:09.700 align:left position:50% line:83% size:40%
IT GIVES YOU
A GREAT CHANCE

24:09.700 --> 24:11.566 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
TO COMPARE THE
SUBTLE DIFFERENCES

24:11.566 --> 24:13.066 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
BETWEEN WADING BIRDS.

24:13.066 --> 24:16.066 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, SIZES AND COLORS
AND OTHER THINGS.

24:18.800 --> 24:21.100 align:left position:50% line:77% size:40%
THIS HAS BEEN
A WONDERFUL AREA
TO VISIT TO GIVE

24:21.100 --> 24:23.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
US A CHANCE TO OBSERVE
WADING BIRDS UP CLOSE.

24:23.400 --> 24:25.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
YEAH, AND AS YOU SAID,
IT GIVES YOU A CHANCE

24:25.500 --> 24:27.800 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
TO COMPARE THINGS, TOO--
SIZES AND OTHER THINGS.

24:27.800 --> 24:30.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THAT'S KIND OF NICE,
BUT THE VARIETY OF HABITATS HERE

24:30.366 --> 24:32.266 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
ALSO MAKES THIS
VERY, VERY SPECIAL.

24:32.266 --> 24:35.100 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
THIS IS A PLACE THAT I IMAGINE
A LOT OF PEOPLE DRIVE RIGHT BY

24:35.100 --> 24:37.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AND THEY MISS SOME OF THE MOST
WONDERFUL THINGS IN THE WORLD.

24:37.966 --> 24:39.900 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IT'S KIND OF AN ENCHANTING
PLACE, REALLY.

24:39.900 --> 24:44.833 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%
IT IS, AND WE CAN
BE THANKFUL IT WAS
SAVED BACK IN 1974.

24:44.833 --> 24:48.900 align:left position:40% line:77% size:50%

24:51.900 --> 24:53.733 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
