I think that is a barred owl. Strix varia.
Nice shot, but I think you have a tiger swallowtail. Possibly the pale variety. There are three or four varieties of tiger swallowtails and they all look a lot alike.

I much prefer the first one. More contrast, more detail, better background, more "character''.
I think what you have here is a spotted sandpiper. Actitis macularia. And it spelled "snipe" not "snip."
John D
Sorry, what you have here is a white faced ibis. Plegadia chihi. The glossy ibis is pretty much confined to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The white ibis has the white rim around his face, the glossy ibis does not.
Great shots though.

I just tested mine, live view and an SB500. tried with viewfinder first, flash fired, tried in live view with touch screen, camera focused, took shot and flash fired. So mine works like its supposed to. You may have some menu setting that is preventing the flash from firing, but I can't say what that would be.

Yep, I've been using mine in the Everglades since I got it on Friday. I really like it. I pair it with the new 300 mm f4. The lens is short and light and the auto focus on the camera makes for a great BIF setup.
We called them wild leeks where I grew up, edge of the Adirondack mountains, and if you came to school smelling of them you got sent home for the day.
They did smell pretty bad when the kid was sitting next to you.
I've never photographed a nudist wedding, but I have played the bagpipes at a friends nudist wedding. We made the local paper, The Palm Beach Post, and my mother-in-law had a fit when she saw that her darling daughter was also in attendance.
I've got my 600 mm on the D 7100, got the tripos set up, got the cable release ready.
And the sky is cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms. That's what you get in South Florida in the rainy season.
Oh well, I'll see it on my astronomy site.
Good luck for those of you who have clear seeing.

yes, tri color heron and a purple gallinule.
Go to Op/Tech USA web site and check out the dual harness. The photo will show you how it looks. Then get a set of extenders. Put one around your belt on each side and the loop them through the arm holes in in dual harness. adjust to fit and you should be good to go.
And you can carry one or two cameras with this rig.

I think its a female anhinga. I didn't know they got that far north. We have scads of them here in S Florida.

Every time I see something about a lens cap tether I wonder, "Don't these folks have pockets?"
John D
Yes, the sea life. check out their web site. They have a camera that will fit the bill. I think the present model is a reefmaster mini. But that could have changed since I was on their web site
