The Everglades is a subtropical wetland that extends from Kissimmee and Orlando area and runs south through the state into lake Okeechobee and continues south and drains into Florida Bay. It is approximately 15,000 years old and dates back to when the paleo-Indians such as the Tequesta and Calusa lived in the southern half of Florida.
It is also a unique Eco system and there is nothing else on earth like it, Its size varys depending on who you ask, but generally the Everglades goes from the south side of lake Okeechobee south to Florida bay is approximately 4000 square miles. BUT it originally extended to the Orlando area which now has mostly become civilized and farmed. The Everglades is so large the it creates its own weather from evaporation and heat that replenishes itself.
The Everglades is home to over 375 species of birds of which 150 are considered to be rare. Most of the birds we see on airboat trip in the Everglades are different species of Herons Egret, Curlew, Roseate Spoonbill and Black neck Stilt.
