Everything about this shot went wrong. It should be in the trash pile, but it’s funny.
I went for a long shot of colors and a Great Blue. Pretty basic photograph.
As I held the shutter (for 4 different images) everything went south,
First, what looks like a Cormorant zoomed through, splashing water, messing with my focus, general disruption.
Next, look at the Herons head. There is a Swallow almost hitting him. Bugs are always an issue, Swallows show up early morning. At times there are A LOT of Swallows. Like this morning.
It was a busy morning with all the locals out and about at the same time.
Early bird breakfast special 😏
😃😃, the weather came back so it’s warm again. So much going on I even watched 2 young Spoonbills trying to make a nest… right on top of a gator rest spot 😂😂.
Great fun to see them all busily sharing the space!
This marsh is miles around yet at times it’s like going to the beach on a weekend right here LOL
Must be good eating.
This is the marsh closest to the shore so when trunks are open food just flows in.
