Ibis in Flight

In the 1800s John James Audubon noted that the sky was often darkened by the flocks of numerous birds above.  Since the early 20th century, around 93% of the wading bird population has vanished. Much of the wildlife left in south Florida depends on Everglades National Park for a home.
