Photographed at Crandon Beach - Key Biscayne, Florida
An early morning photo of a Tricolored Heron flying low across the canal, into the mangroves, at the end of Crandon's Beach Park.
The diffused background colors, in beautiful color harmony with the low-flying bird, was a bonus and welcomed coincidence.

Crandon Gardens, Key Biscayne, Miami, Florida
The Swan Goose (Anser cygnoides) is a rare large goose with a natural breeding range in inland Mongolia, northernmost China, and southeastern Russia. It is migratory and winters mainly in central and eastern China. Vagrant birds are not seldom encountered in Japan and Korea (where it used to winter in numbers when it was more common), and more rarely in Kazakhstan, Laos, coastal Siberia, Taiwan, Thailand and Usbekistan.
This species has been domesticated. Introduced and feral populations of its domestic breeds occur in many places outside its natural range.

Since this city is popping buildings at an unbelievable rate I wanted to shoot a updated view. It was a last minute initiative on my way back from a late afternoon at Crandon Beach Park. Conditions were kinda nice.
I photographed this cityscape of Miami with my 1DX-MII, which I use regularly for sports action - just out of curiosity. I never shot a previous scenery image with my regular 1DX. The clarity of this original size file is stunning. The cable on the crane at the building in construction in the picture is crystal clear. I not even shot in Raw because I forgot to change from JPEG in the quick setup as the light kept vanishing.
Perhaps I shoot a few more scenes like these soon. Interesting. The results are really amazing, especially when coupled with the ultra sharp: Canon 24-70mm f/2.8.

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron
Two weeks ago I posted Waiting For Nightfall. Since then, on a few occasions, I have tried to photograph the same setting with some interaction and better conditions. Impossible! We've been experiencing late afternoon storms or very heavy clouds almost every day. The two times I managed to get out to the location and it was unsuccessful. One time, with the vigilant mother standing by, the chicks were sleeping, and after hanging out for a while it got too dark. The other time I got caught by a strong thunderstorm that rolled in unexpectedly. It's that time of the year!
A couple of days ago it wasn't too different. It got almost too dark again but there was a little bit of "quality light" left. At the end I was able to capture this image at high ISO. Unfortunately, the best shooting angle has now been compromised by a branch that is hanging in the viewing way, and there is not much I can do about it. The 3 chicks are growing day by day. I guess they doubled in size already. Amazing how they have endured all these strong thunderstorm in their nest. They really don't have anywhere to go and below there is only water. If possible, I'll keep coming back and hopefully get that memorable shot before they are gone!

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron
In another attempt to photograph interaction of mom with the little herons I went out last week to Crandon Beach Park. A rare occasion without late usual afternoon thunderstorms!
I was only able to capture a handful of images of the restless growing chicks waiting for mom to return. I believe she was taking a break. She was sitting on a higher branch, in vigilant close proximity, and she stayed there until I decided to leave. That is, until the mosquitoes drove me crazy!

Tricolored Heron
It was the first sunny late afternoon in a couple of weeks. It has been nothing but heavy clouds or thunderstorms at the end of the day.
I really drove to the beach to photograph other subjects. Waiting for the sunset, I visited the park. This image was an unexpected situation that I just took advantage of. I'm very glad I did!
