Tall reeds and grasses worked in my favor here (pretty rare).

I shot all these photographs at the minimum my lens would allow. The idea was to make the images all about the flight over the marsh, not just the bird.

There was plenty of activity this morning so I could afford to play around trying to get an in-flight series like this.
Most times a series like this is… nothing like what I saw in my head.
