Thanks!! Yeah We don’t have any of those wood peckers in the keys except red bellies, maybe a yellow bellied sapsucker during winter, and the occasional downy 🫤 It’s crazy how many mainland birds we don’t have! Only cool thing about here is we tend to get rare neotropical migrants and we sometimes Caribbean birds and parrots. When I lived in Orlando we definitely did have different birds!

Big Cypress is a preserve not a national park .A national park has lots of restrictions & rules preserves don't . I know this area well I use to stay on Loop Road for years which is near to Monument lake on its north end . I film a lot of stuff in area including birds & some things u just have to be out there long enough to know how to find .

Hmmm that’s interesting because the website says it’s apart of the national park service so it’s easy to get that confused…but regardless that was not the purpose of the video to differentiate how the area is managed…The purpose was for birding.
