Florida is widely known for its alligators, panthers, pythons, and pesky mosquitoes, but did you know it also has crocodiles, bears, red widow spiders, and more species of fireflies than any other state? How about a tiny lizard that swims through central Florida’s ancient sand dunes, its very own species of scrub-jay, or that wild flamingos, common two centuries ago, are reappearing? Join Kirsten Hines, author of Birds of Florida and Wild Florida: An Animal Odyssey, for a visual and descriptive journey deep into Florida’s wilds to explore the state’s impressive array of animals, including tips on where and how to photograph this diversity.
