Honey Island Swamp Tour.......take 2


Raccoons 


They are cute but apparently a pest in your backyard 


The pig was pretty big and really enjoyed the marshmallows.


He came right up to the boat.


Now, this is a heron that has a 6ft wing span when they are fully grown.
They eat baby alligators and sit there waiting for their "groceries" to swim by.

There were lots of air plants growing on the trees. 


There are a few houses in the swamp that can only be reached by boat.
When Katrina struck this house was under water as the swamp rose by around 11 feet.
Just a month or so ago the water rose to the door handle.
