More excellent nature content from Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on Key Biscayne, Florida, featuring an adult (likely female) Raccoon (Procyon lotor) and her three amazingly cute kits (juvenile Raccoons). This was along the lighthouse service road, after a few days of recurring rain.
Today on BirdingPI.com, the Miami, Florida content continues, featuring male and female Egyptian Geese (introduced, feral) engaging in copulation behavior. Fun fact: “Geese and other waterfowl possess a true, evertible phallus, whereas roughly 97% of all non-waterfowl bird species completely lack an external intromittent organ.” Like Canada Geese (for example), these Egyptian Geese were enthusiastically […]
Happy Wednesday! Might as well push forward with more digital photographs of amazing White Ibis at Crandon Park on Key Biscayne, Florida, outside Miami. Usure what these White Ibis were primarily foraging for, but could have been any of white grubs (beetle larvae), crane fly larvae, mole cricket nymphs, earthworms, etc.
Today is mid-term election day in the United States. Here at BirdingPI.com we’re voting for birds, especially these beautiful White Ibis at Crandon Park on Key Biscayne. (Adult = white w/ black wingtips; juvenile/immature = mixed brown.)
Daresay there’s nothing more enjoyable (and joyous) in birding than pelicans dive fishing. These are Brown Pelicans (adult: white head; juvenile: brown head) off the coast of Key Biscayne, Florida, in early October.

To be continued… Except where otherwise noted, today’s post on BirdingPI.com features lovely Indian Peafowl (wild/feral) at Crandon Park, Key Biscayne, Florida, earlier in October:
Back to Key Biscayne (outside Miami, Florida) earlier this month, at Crandon Park, featuring a great sighting of lovely Little Blue Heron: Hard to tell scale from the shots above, but here’s the LBH in the background by the road, relative to an Egyptian Goose in the foreground (= smaller than Canada Goose): And a […]
Continuing on with coverage from Crandon Park @ Key Biscayne, Florida, on 3 October 2026, featuring great “local specialty” species Gray Kingbird: Range of Gray Kingbird: Caribbean, Central America, and coastal Florida. Also a lovely Great Crested Flycatcher: And White Ibis, both tree-perched and foraging: [Editor’s note: lots more White Ibis to come!] Along with […]
Might as well get started on some nature content from the Miami, Florida, U.S. area from a couple weeks ago. What better way to kick it off than with an uncommon sighting of a wild American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) at Crandon Park on Key Biscayne? Despite the copious warning signs, meanwhile, nearby, at the other […]
