A "flood" in the swamp

Is it classified as a flood when it's in a swamp that is normally flooded? The water was high, enabling me to get my kayak far back into the forest. This is the Choctahatchee river basin in the Florida panhandle. We were there looking for Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers. Didn't see any, but it sure was beautiful.

Another view. These scenes were on Bruce Creek, a tributary of the Choctahatchee.You have to imagine the sound of Barred Owls calling while looking at this.
