Here’s more aerial footage of Big Cypress Nat’l Preserve, taken about two months ago. At the end of the clip, off in the distance, you’ll see the now-extingished Deep Fire burning in its early stage. As big as that fire was (several tens of square miles big), it’s a mere speck in the woods of the greater Everglades ecosystem.
And how time flies: the swamps have lifted off (out of drought) thanks to record May rainfalls and a wet start in June.
