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.)
To be continued… More American Alligator, this time at the Gator Park nature show: And misc. nature from around the Gator Park facilities and parking lot: Finally, a quick stop at Shark Valley, featuring the first ever BirdingPI.com digital photographs of a White-eyed Vireo (peeking out through a bush):
To be continued… Atmospherically, guess it makes more sense to switch over to a nice outing in the Everglades on 2 October 2026, at the amazing Gator Park: Female or immature Anhinga: Great Egret @ foraging behavior: Wild female Alligator + juveniles:
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:
Previously on BirdingPI.com… Today, we’re picking things up again with our intrepid explorers Lisa and James, the following year: To be continued… And in nature content, back to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on Key Biscayne, featuring “not birds:”
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 […]
With IBS in Miami late September, BirdingPI.com staff was mostly ‘stuck’ at Miami Beach. These shots at sunrise. Weather: cloudy, mild/warm, humid, tropical. Ok sequence of a Laughing chasing a Lesser Black-backed Gull (w/ fish): A deft Laughing Gull catch-and-release of ocean detritus: Coming up soon, lots more from the beach!
