These were taken recently on a morning when there was plenty of flight action. Egret nesting to be exact.

Walking the parameter of the large rookery pond, well dodging direct sunlight, gave me a few different angles as the birds flew past with their ‘collections’.


It’s frustrating, but I could show up the next day, at the exact same time and place with no results. When you do get it right this is an amazing show.

Above an Alligator watched with me.
The morning light on the egret is wonderful, so is the background!
I think it’s the Spanish Moss that is so mesmerizing. 😃
