Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park is truly an amazing and beautiful place, preserving the unique dry prairie ecosystem of Florida. Where are the birds? I have a separate gallery for them now.

For some in depth information on the park, its ecology and history, visit the excellent web site of Tim Kozusko at: http://www.kissimmeeprairie.org/
