I went out last week to capture a sunrise down in Flamingo, Florida. I took a few reflection pictures across the water as the sun came up. After the sunrise I went to Eco Pond to try and capture some bird in flight pictures. The birds have started to thin out after reaching a peak a few weeks ago. There were still a good number of Roseate Spoonbills, Egrets, Heron’s and other birds but not like there had been the last few weeks. I ended up with a few I liked.
After the birds stopped performing, I started heading back toward the park entrance. I made one last stop to explore a cypress dome I had never walked into before. It was a great find and I plan on going back to try and take more pictures there in the future. Inside the cypress dome, I found resident gators, birds, and three water moccasins. I also found numerous orchids of different varieties including some very large and rare cigar orchids.
