Knowing the flight path, or at least a vague idea, makes getting a series like this so much easier. They may not always follow the path, but when they do closeup’s can happen.
Best viewed large.
This bird was on the waters edge and suddenly decided to head over to the old ramp. The quick trip took him almost directly in front of me.
Black-crowned Night Heron, Magnolia Plantation rookery.
Great to see these progressive images! There are fly-by visits from two Canada geese pairs whose unique flight paths in the morning seem to occur almost at the exact same time daily near my home. Their schedules are more timely than mine 😏
I find most birds to be creatures of habit.
