One of the nice things about being in a place with many birds and activity is you can step back and (try) to pick and choose your shots. These shots are just that.
I was standing on the edge of this swamp area just watching small herons and egrets wandering the brush and fishing the swamp.
This Little Blue didn’t seem to like the clutter. He would take a step, flap around, deep breath, and try again. I grabbed a few shots because these birds should be seasoned hunters, not prima donnas. 🤣


Quite the fancy fuzzy crown feathers 🥰
Gets it standing up when excited
I can’t imagine having the opportunity to pick which bird to photograph among so many. A very nice choice here 😊
😃. I know, hard to imagine. You first grab quick shots because you’re afraid to miss them. Then slow down and pick your shots.
What lovely shots. You are lucky to have this variety of choices.
Beautiful bird.
Thank you. And yes, very lucky to have this.
