As on every trip I love to go outside with my tele lens and take pictures of animals. This is what I did in Florida. Florida has a great variety of birds and reptiles. Most of them are not afraid of humans, which makes it relatively easy to take pictures of them. Just saying, because in Germany it is nearly impossible to get a good photo of a white heron for example. There was on just in front of our house this winter and when I tried to come nearer (which was about 50 meters) it flew away.
Here is a collection of what I found in Florida:
