There's very little water on the Everglades prairies during this time of year. Alligators who aren't near deeper water have excavated a hole to fill with water and help them survive the dry season. Fish, turtles, and other prairie denizens will use the alligator holes for water, too. Once the rains come, the wildlife will disperse until the dry season comes again.

Love the beautiful purples in this.
I must tell you that on my trip last weekend to the Panther Preserve, I opted out of the Orchid walk which I did last year on dry ground because this year there was two to three feet of water. No thanks ;)
But the swamp buggy tour was great! Lots of birds and deer.
You are right, Mary, we've had more rain that usual--and recently a few heavy downpours. It's such beautiful land, glad you got to enjoy it.
