  • Eventually the King of the Florida Everglades ends up getting eaten. This alligator met its demise in the Fakahatchee Strand, and provided a meal, ready to eat for this black vulture. Without carrion birds such as this to keep the ecosystem clean from decay and rot, very little of the habitat would be safe for wildlife.
    Black Vulture
  • I found these cool little jelly mushrooms yesterday while looking for bigger Pacific Northwest fungus species to photograph. This unique and very interesting toothed jelly mushroom is found throughout the world and grows mostly on decaying coniferous wood. Although it is considered edible, it is reported to have almost no taste, and is often "candied" with sugar and sometimes other ingredients. This one was found in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest near the Greenwater River, in the Cascade Mountains in Pierce County, Washington.

  • I was photographing native turtles along Lake Trafford in Immokakee, Florida when I passed an overflowing dumpster near a restaurant swarmed with vultures. This one posed for me long enough to make a portrait.

  • A member of nature's clean-up crew, the black vulture is a very important and necessary part of keeping the environment healthy and beautiful. This one was photographed in Fort Myers, Florida.

  • Sometimes the King of the Everglades is on the menu. This black vulture in Florida's Fakahatchee Strand perches on the floating corpse of an alligator that has been dead for several days.
    Black Vulture and Dead Alligator
  • You never know what you will see when driving through rural Florida. This alligator head - probably a leftover from poachers - was being picked clean by vultures in Hendry County.
