I didn’t expect the Tricolored Heron to take off. I had the thought to keep shooting while the Roseate Spoonbill approached him.
Usually they just keep fishing and slowly pass each other.
The only reason I caught both was I never let up on the shutter when the heron jumped up.


These were the best two of the series. I was shooting a little slow trying to deal with the light.
Fun juxtaposition of the two; different activities and directions.
Fast mirrorless usually grabs too many images, but inside the series there can be treasures too.
Always. I have trouble keeping up with sorting what my DSLR captures, can’t imagine getting 2-3x as many images in the same timeframe.
I keep mine down to around 25/second. I have used the max, 125. Ridiculous number, unless at the NFL goal line.
Good for slo-mo videos afterwards. Or when a bird flips a fish in the air and catches it.
