A ranger at Shark Valley Visitor Center in the Everglades mentioned that someone had seen an Egyptian Goose nearby that day. On the alert for the bird, I spotted it next to some water.

The next day we visited Crandon Park Gardens in Key Biscayne. The Gardens are the former Miami Zoo and are a lovely location to get bird (and iguana and rabbit) images. The Ibis images from a couple weeks ago were taken there. We spotted an Egyptian Goose and then a family.

While dad goose complained about us being nearby, the goslings just showed off.

While I was shooting one angle, my son Dan was shooting from another side. He snapped this of me on his phone. You can barely make out the three little fellows next to mom. This is right about when I'm taking the image just above. Dad goose, on the right, is hissing at me, while I replied that you guys waddled up to me.
