Sparky, I am apologizing up front for this LONG post. I just watched part one before this part two. I was raised in Florida. I have seen most of this in person. BUT... I have missed hundreds of details that you pointed out. You are the REAL DEAL ! What a good job of finding, shooting, narrating, and editing ! I almost clicked off in part one when you started with,"I have no plan. I have no hotel. I'm just gonna feel it out." South Florida? This guy isn't worth my time. Boy, was I WRONG ! I was surprised not to see an osprey. I am on a one man mission to restore the rightful name of the butterfly. The butterfly, like killer whales being originally named whale killers, was called for many a millennium a FLUTTER BYE. It got flipped, and butterfly stuck. Lastly... A torrential downpour in Florida is called a "frog strangler." I tapped the thumbs up 👍 button to feed the algorithm monsters, and I am now going back to part 1 to comment and do the same for that clip, too. Thanks for the entertainment.

Enjoyed again a lot Sparky

Beautiful, thank you!

My oldest child lives in Palm Beach County, so I love going down and spending a month or so with her and her family around March and April. Been to all the places in your videos and love birding and photographing in Florida. Really enjoy your videos and have been watching the ones on Sax Zim Bog as I'm headed out there this coming June. Hoping to maybe run into you!

28:00 its a Curly Tailed Lizard

Cool Bachman's, and that Snail Kite...so neat! And great lizard photos too, Sparky! Someday I'll reach Florida...have rellies in Jacksonville and Gainesville areas, and met lots of photogs in the bog last winter from Florida.

Florida has some great birds. You found a lot of Burroing Owls!

Hello, a really nice video/vlog of you and you are a very good storyteller and combined with the wonderful images interesting to watch!! Greetings from the Netherlands

We get a couple of those butterflies in our backyard......... fun stuff.

I really enjoy your videos. Great video, great info.

Love the content as always

Not my area of the country to bird... but always love your videos. Can't wait for your next TRNP adventure. I reviewed your past videos before my last trip there.

I have seen a Bachman's sparrow as well as a red-cockaded woodpecker.

Congrat's on the Bachman's! Loved this video. Awesome footage and animals. Thank you.

Paines Prairie near Gainesville is Snail Kite central! Also good for the herds of Bison and wild horses

From a Florida Herper recently starting birding, love the vids! Here's a few correction on the reptiles the "Black Rat Snake" was just a Black Racer, we do get eastern rat snakes in south Florida but ours are yellow or orange not black. Also the "Green Anole" was actually a Bark Anole(Anolis distichus) so quite possibly a lifer for you and lastly the ones you thought were swifts or fence lizards were also just curly tails, they often don't have the tails curled up.

Growing up in Florida...Pines are very common. We called them lightning rods...lol.

Another awesome video, love that Halloween Pennant, and of course all the fantastic birds.

Thanks for sharing this trip. Fantastic photo and videos!

Always fun to watch!

Lots of suggestions for a Florida trip when their politics improve. I wish you had enough for a part 3. Great birds and adventures.

Some epic finds Sparky!

Your spiny lizard is a curly tail!

Forgive me if this is posted elsewhere. I was just wondering what camera rig you were using. Great video!

Is that a red color band on the red-cockaded woodpecker’s leg?
