Happy Spring Break!

Even if Florida is not in your Spring Break plans, you can enjoy a bit of the Everglades with this 90 second video of some of the beautiful wild things there….

I was on a business trip to Florida at the end of February, meeting with alumnae and going to a board meeting.  I did manage to escape into the Everglades with my camera for about three hours one day and the wild things did not disappoint!  Enjoy!!

PS — on a more serious note, this essay about the death of the owl Flaco in New York City and the perils of human interaction with wildlife is a beautiful read and makes some very important points about the limits of development in wild habitat.  Florida is a case study in how human intervention in the wild landscape has created so many environmental problems for the wild creatures and humans alike.
