Chokoloskee Bay, Everglades
National Park
Only 75 miles from Miami, Everglades
City and Chokoloskee Island are the
pearly gates to heaven as far as I am
concerned. Chokoloskee Island, a
legendary place for several reasons is
surrounded by Chokoloskee Bay, most
of which is within the Everglades
National Park. A pristine piece of
wilderness, Chokoloskee Bay is the first
crossing into the Ten Thousand Islands
or the backcountry of the Everglades.
I've grown acquainted with this area and
its inhabitants over the years, it's
become a home away from home.
Here is a display of several photographs
shot from the bay between July 2007
and October 2008. The bay is a year
round home to several bird species
including the brown pelican, royal tern,
white ibis and oyster catcher. It serves
as a temporary home to many others
like the white pelican, roseate spoonbill
and sandwich tern. My Chokoloskee
friends I call them.
One of the challenges of photographing
on the bay are the countless oyster
beds. It's a catch-22 for photographing
birds that are more visibly feeding during
low tide. That's when the sharp oysters
shells appear above the water surface.
But, that's half the fun, trying to dodge
the sharp boat cutters. How else can I
get close enough to the oyster island
that is completely covered with a
hundred or so white pelicans, or the
yellowcrown nightheron that is busily
hunting crab for breakfast.
From a canoe, Chokoloskee Bay is a
photographer's paradise. See for
yourself.
