Woody's 2017 Wildlife, Nature and Other Stuff

My wife and I took a short trip to the Miami area. She was competing in an aquathlon (like triathlon minus the run) to try to get on the team for the world age group championships. Unfortunately, she had two flats on the bike and was out of it. She trained for months for this race, so it was a real bummer.
She decided not to let it ruin our whole trip, though, so we hit Everglades National Park and Crandon Park to see some new birds and enjoy the mostly sunny weather. I photographed 15 new birds, and I'm still going through all the shots.

I feel bad for your wife..........that's tough, especially since it was a mechanical situation. Chin up!!! Hey, at least you got some nice shots out of it...........I'll bet that makes her feel better.........not!
She has competed in both triathlon and aquathlon world championships in the past. She really wanted to go to the next one, though, since it is in Denmark. She did like having a personal photographer, though, even if things didn't turn out so hot.
Thanks, I'll try again when I get back to my desktop. Argh!
I've only been able to add one picture at a time lately, too. Maybe @wev , you and I are comitting the same sins and being punished.

I didn't think about that. I did notice more flats than usual in this race.
