A woodland swamp with shallow water relflecting through a forest in early spring. Green mosses line the perimeter and cover logs laying in the water.

A round pool of water surrounded by green sphagnum mosses with trees reflecting in the water. A large log rests behind the pool.

It’s always very curious how quick people are to dismiss swamps and yet when asked to describe the things they love about nature, they end up describing a swamp. #naturesky #wetlands

An adult sandhill crane towers over its small baby as they walk through a sunlit field of flowers.

An adorable set of #LongNecks that we saw out at the Orlando Wetlands yesterday.

There are quite a few babies out there right now, but this sandhill crane colt in the flowers was one of my favorites from the day. 🌞

It's so beautiful up here. I haven't been since this past fall. Now there are streams and wetlands! Last summer we were in an awful drought in New Hampshire, but water seems to be making a comeback!

These small, shallow, temporary wetlands are very important for waterfowl as they are the first to thaw & provide important habitat for migrating birds. Like these Tundra Swans, geese, ducks, & shorebirds. Your Sunday morning Prairie Zen. Vol up & enjoy!

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron fishes at sunset in Longmont, Colorado. In this horizontal black-and-white photograph, the heron appears partially silhouetted and perfectly reflected as it leans over the pond, poised to spear a fish beneath an arched log. This environmental composition reveals the broader scene: still water mirroring trees along the opposite shore and the curved log that emerges at center-left before dipping back beneath the surface at mid-frame on the right. The symmetry of the log and its reflection, combined with the heron’s form, creates the illusion of a face when viewed to the left—some even see a resemblance to the Grinch from Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Bog fans! Here's a wonderful video visiting one of those amazing places. Includes cool info by people who know their stuff. #bogs #wetlands

This is from the Adirondacks, but there's a lot of similarities to my area (thanks to the last ice age).

The image shows a placid river in mid-summer. The banks of the river are crowded with a variety of trees and wetland plants, which are reflected in the calm water of the river. This is the Chubb River near Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

Photo by Kort Duce A great blue heron fishes amid rippled reflections that evoke a Claude Monet painting. In this horizontal color photograph, the heron stands in the water slightly left of center. The surface mirrors a fishing pier, though its form dissolves into abstract patterns in the ripples. The scene takes on a painterly quality, reminiscent of Monet's signature style.

A scene at the Orlando Wetlands. A sign to the right says "Restricted Area - No Unauthorized Personnel Beyond This Point". To the left, just beyond the sign are 4 alligators all piled up basking in the sun. Behind are marsh reeds and beyond that some trees poke up.
