Hidden in plain sight. 🦊🌿
While observing territory behaviors, this younger member of the family slipped quietly through the brush. The way they blend effortlessly into dry scrub and green cover makes them incredibly tough to spot until they step right past the lens.
Sound up, look close, and watch how smoothly they navigate the thicket! 📸✨

Recent Coyote Encounters! 🐾

Consider this a quick teaser for a full, special video feature on these local coyotes that I’m currently putting together. Got some incredible encounters on camera recently—including today when the female coyote in the second video kept a very close eye on me as a storm was rolling in.

Lots more footage on the way. Stay tuned! 🎬

ACG Adventures | The Ultimate Florida Wildlife Catch-Up 📸🐊

Missed a few "photo of the day" post while on vacation so I felt a photo dump was in order. I was busy visiting some of my favorite places and working on my coyote project. I made visits to several facilities that are home to wildlife ambassadors including Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, and Gatorland.

The Lineup:

First up is one of the members of the local coyote family I have been tracking and photographing in a nearby natural area here in Palm Beach County. The coyote put the zoom of the p600 to the test in a low light situation.

Second is one of the many incredible alligators at Gatorland, this massive gator is one of hundreds of photos I took on my visit to the park. I made focusing on the eyes of these ancient animals a focus on my trip.

Third is my favorite p600 photo of one of the Panthers at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary, this incredible feline gave me a beautifully intense look with its eyes.

Fourth and Fifth photos are of Gatorland's beautiful Macaw birds. while number six is a stunning Parrot. These birds' incredible colors made for great photos.

Seven was the most difficult of the bunch, the autofocus on the p600 is pretty slow so getting a photo of an osprey midflight was challenging for sure, but it was worth the challenge.

The eighth photo is of a brilliantly vibrant American Flamingo showing off its flexible neck at Gatorland.

Photo number 9 is a massive Invasive Green Iguana claiming its stake high up on a tree trunk, this lizard was watching me as I was attempting to photograph flying ospreys

Number 10 is catching a Limpkin mid-blink, showing off its semi-transparent nictitating membrane (third eyelid), this bird got into a territorial dispute with another limpkin, also while I was trying to photograph ospreys.

Tracking the elusive wildlife that shares our backyard spaces. In this episode of ACG Adventures, we use specialized night vision and long-lens optics to monitor the local Eastern Coyote population.

Eastern Coyotes in Florida are highly adaptable hybrids, often carrying a mix of coyote, wolf, and dog DNA. This footage captures a nocturnal patrol where a coyote was spotted navigating the edges of suburban neighborhoods, including a tense standoff along a roadway before the coyote melted back into the brush. We also look back at a crisp, daytime encounter captured on the Nikon P600.

As suburban and urban areas expand, these animals continue to adapt to our changing environments. Remember to stay aware, respect local wildlife, and never feed wild coyotes.

Gear Used:

Night Vision Binoculars

Nikon P600

Photo of the Day | Day 21: Rookery Real Estate 🪶🌳
Cruising into Day 21 of the series with a raw, animated look deep inside the breeding colony—catching a pair of older juvenile Wood Storks loudly demanding a delivery from their parents.

Fast Facts for the Feed:

The Only Native Stork: Wood Storks are incredibly special because they are the only species of stork that breeds natively in North America. These prehistoric-looking giants rely heavily on the seasonal rising and falling of Florida's water levels to concentrate fish into shallow pools for hunting.

The Youthful Makeover: You can tell these are youngsters by their coloration. While mature adults have completely bare, rough, scaly black heads and necks (giving them the nickname "flintheads"), these juveniles still have a soft coating of greyish-white down along their necks and a much lighter, yellowish bill that will eventually darken and turn downward as they grow.

Tactile Foraging Masters: While these chicks are waiting to be fed, they are already practicing the mechanics of survival. Wood Storks don't hunt by sight; instead, they use a highly specialized technique called "tactile foraging." They submerge their open bills in murky water and wait—the second a fish touches the inside of their mandibles, the bill snaps shut in just 25 milliseconds, one of the fastest reflex actions in the entire animal kingdom.

The frame on that wide-open bill against the thick green rookery leaves shows off the beautiful chaos of South Florida's nesting season. Who else loves listening to the unique sounds of a busy colony at dusk? Let’s hear your sightings below! 👇

Photo of the Day | Day 20: The Canopy King 🦎🌳
Hitting the Day 20 milestone with an incredibly sharp, detailed portrait of an invasive icon—a massive mature Green Iguana keeping watch from deep within the leafy branches.

Fast Facts for the Feed:

The Arboreal Lifestyle: While we often see them scrambling across banks or basking on open paths, Green Iguanas are highly arboreal by nature. They spend the vast majority of their lives high up in the tree canopy, often nesting, sleeping, and feeding up to 50 feet above the ground.

That Massive Cheek Scale: Take a look at that huge, circular plate right below its ear—that is called the subtympanic shield. In mature iguanas, this scale grows exceptionally large and acts as a visual target to make their head look bigger and more intimidating to rivals when they are defending a choice basking branch.

The Orange Blush: Notice that bright, rich orange wash stretching down its front leg and dewlap? During the breeding season, dominant mature iguanas develop these intense orange highlights to show off their status and health to nearby females.

The detail on those individual head scales and the way the spines catch the sunlight against the bright green leaves makes this a spectacular profile shot for hitting day twenty. How many "tree dragons" do you usually spot hiding out on your favorite local trail? Drop your numbers below! 👇

Photo of the Day | Day 19: The Snake Bird 🪶🐍
Gliding into Day 19 with a gorgeous, crisp profile of a female Anhinga surveying her wetland territory from a favorite snags perched right over the water.

Fast Facts for the Feed:

The "Snakebird" Illusion: Anhingas are famous for their unique swimming style. Unlike ducks, they don't have waterproof oils on their feathers, which causes their bodies to sink completely below the surface. When they swim, only their long, slender, twisting neck and sharp head stick out of the water, making them look exactly like a swimming snake!

Drying the Wings: Because their feathers get completely waterlogged to help them dive and hunt underwater, you’ll frequently see them perched on branches with their wings spread wide open. They have to spend hours baking in the South Florida sun to completely dry out before they can fly efficiently again.

The Gender Breakdown: You can easily tell this is a female by that beautiful, warm buff-tan coloration running down her neck and breast. The males, on the other hand, are completely glossy black-green with intense silver-white streaks on their upper wings.

Capturing that sleek, dagger-like bill and the subtle pattern details on her back against a completely blown-out green background is exactly why checking the snags along the marsh line pays off. Who else loves watching these specialized divers dry off after a hunt? Drop your sightings below! 👇
