Just past the Flamingo visitors center, this small pond holds an amazing array of bird life, including herons, sandpipers, stilts, roseate spoonbills, and lots of other wading birds. We also saw a Pileated Woodpecker here, a real treat. There is virtually no walking to beathtaking view of some of the most beautiful creatures on Earth - not to be missed.

We visited this spot three or four times during our trip. One morning it was absolutely incredible. Another morning it was competely quiet. Be careful, I believe the pond has a resident crocodile. HINT-visit early morning for best viewing. If you find this area without birds, try Mrazek pond .

The pond is so quiet and tranquil, beautifully reflecting the vegetation on the water. Come in the morning or afternoon to get the best photo.
