The storms that battered the Keys also battered my tent. You could have floated a small boat in the middle. Figuring that if it rained, my tent would get wet around the edges, I had neatly piled my gear right in the middle of the newly formed pond. Long story short, four of us slept in the van and managed to get about an hour of sleep between the uncomfortable seats and the mosquitoes.
We again beat the sun to a pond near Flamingo where Wood Storks were making bombing runs overhead. After about 200 pictures, I was able to get the focus and exposure dialed in.

After a short stop to check out the birds, we loaded up and made the long run towards Orlando. We stopped at a nice wetland area just outside of Orlando with loads of waterfowl and wading birds.
