It can be like living in the city, an apartment building filled with kids.
Several Egrets were being loud. The Great Blue up in the penthouse was getting a little worked up. One of those ‘don’t you dare wake the kids’ moments.
Yeah, right.
I got the idea she was less than pleased.
Some good sized fish live right along the edge of this swamp, under the duck weed.
Egrets and Herons drop in after seeing some movement under the water. I never see it.
This bird came in fairly close giving me a good view of the ‘slamming on the brakes’.
The wing span is incredible on these Egrets.
This series is the wings, all about the wings.
Like the Great Blue Heron the Great Egret has many layers of wing feathers.
Most images don’t capture the full wing span or their ‘cape’ feathers.
This is one of the only birds you would photograph from behind (unless do some research project of course), well I will but most people don’t.
Standing alone in the far corner of this swamp.
He knows he should bring a stick back to the nest… but it’s just so calm over here.
If there ever was a pose, one that resembles the Audubon drawings, this is it.
A Lowcountry style.
A Great Egret with an audience.
