And I have never had views of Purple Gallinule like I had yesterday from Everglades Nature Tour&#8217;s airboat on the Everglades Wildlife Management area west of Miami. We stopped the boat and Captain Ozzie whistled up the Gallinule and it came up to a few feet from from the boat, feeding all around us on the lily pads, climbing on the reeds, etc. Quite a show. Of course the light was terrible. Intermittent rain&#8230;just enough to keep me damp and make me very conscious of my camera&#8217;s non-weather-proof status&#8230;but such a treat! And the Sony again pulled it off at ISO 3200. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Sony HX400V at 275mm equivalent field of view. ISO 3200 @ f5 @ 1\/1250th. Shutter preferred.
