So nice to have an open shot of a Great Egret like this.
In most rookeries there is little unobstructed views. However in this spot there are several nesting Cypress trees in the open.
I just had a conversation today on how we need to accept the fact branches and leaves will be in the photographs. We do shoot in swamps after all.
This bird made a nice slow even approach with a ‘twig’ for the nest.
Beautiful series. So lovely to see them in building up and maintaining their nest.
The swamps are filled with the larger breeding birds right now. It is an amazing sight if you can get to the locations.
