It was such a treat to be able catch this bird in the early morning sun which shows the variation in color of its wings and the extraordinary color of its eye.
This is a new composition decision for me to crop out some of the bird to create a more dynamic image. Or put another way – to try to salvage a good picture when the bird flew out of the picture frame. I had to add more blue sky on the bottom which of course for photoshop is a no brainer.
The picture of this Palm Warbler was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
I totally loved the Corkscrew Sanctuary. I visited on a cloudy, somewhat misty day and was so enchanted by the magical light and the extraordinary abundant fauna and flora throughout.

This guy was making lots of noise – it was hard to miss him!
I so loved the Corkscrew Swamp Refuge which is run by the Audubon Society. The beautiful boardwalk ambles through extensive swamp areas. There were many volunteers present all day to answer any questions and point out lots of interesting fauna and flora.
i took this photo while on a boat ride through the 10,000 islands in the west portion of the Everglades National Park.
