Great Egrets fly over to the nearby wood line and search for sticks. Every day for a few hours the birds make trips back and forth. Eventually one takes off, goes a different route, and heads for the marsh’s to fish.
If you catch this right you can have many opportunities for in flight photographs. The rule is take a few, then change your spot for another angle.

These are wonderful Ted, the light is exquisite.
😁😁, thank you. These were from the local swamp nearby. Light there can be great, or not so much lol. My method is take the shots, move for a different angle, repeat lol. Something has to turn out.
