Palm Beach County is home to the Northern Everglades. Senator Bob Graham narrates as we go birding with Audubon on uninhabited mangrove islands to count spoonbills, slosh through water and mangrove roots in search of wood stork nests, and walk to the center of Lake Okeechobee to experience snail kites' life in the wild. Seven million Floridians live within 50 miles of Everglades National Park, yet NPS Ranger Alan Scott says most Americans don't know the Everglades exists or that it provides drinking water for one out of three Floridians. We want to change the perception of the Everglades from a scary, dangerous swamp, filled with man-eating mosquitoes to a place of great beauty, serenity, and more magnificent wading birds than any other places on the planet. We will stun people with Everglades' beauty and win their hearts. In spite of what man has done to the Everglades, nature has found a way to survive. Water is the life blood of South Florida and the Everglades. With water comes life, creating an ongoing cycle of life: birds, mammals, and reptiles mating, nesting, hatching, nurturing babies, hunting, surviving. All take place in mystical landscapes inhabited by some form of life: human, bird, animal, or reptile. Every day is a National Geographic special from hiking on boardwalks to getting your feet wet if you wish. We go deep into Everglades to discover its secrets and hear its heartbeat. See less
