Photo of the Week: Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, SW Florida Last Saturday we spent the day exploring Corkscrew Sanctuary, a 13,000 acre preserve featuring the largest remaining stand of old growth bald cypress. It was a hot, still afternoon and we had loads of wildlife sightings, including an alligator, plenty of egrets, and a Barred owl that stared us down.
