Shingle Creek, FL ~ Nature Trail

Our conference is being held at the Rosen Shingle Creek which is actually where the head of the Everglades starts. Driving in this AM Bernie spotted some White Ibis feeding along the greens. There is a nature trail that is about a mile long that starts by the 8th Tee of the golf course.  During break this morning I went out to the beginning of the trail where to my delight I saw 4 Limpkins feeding. There were 2 adults and 2 chicks.  Nearby was a Common Gallinule who was taking nest building materials to the nest.
