Wood ducks have been called America's most beautifully colored duck. They like to make their nests in tree holes that have been created by squirrels or woodpeckers.

Relax in the waves of the Atlantic near Flagler Beach, on Florida's east coast.

Florida is a flat state, and thus the Class 3 rapids at Big Shoals state park are a big thrill for we flatlander Floridians. Viewers from other states are allowed to snicker, we don't mind.

Manatees come to the surface to breath every three to five minutes. If your own nose was 6 inches over the surface when they came up, this is what you'd see.
