A few from our old B&W / Monochrome web site.
These are such distinctive birds we did a large series of just storks.

Bored Meeting (Pun Intended)
Two Snowy Egret solving the problems of the world.
The Duck Weed on the water looks like you could walk on it.
Marsh Scene
Once a series of plantation rice fields, now open marshlands.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Where River Meets Marsh
Taken on a ‘not so nice’ day. Actually I didn’t expect to see anything.
This was taken on the marsh side of a long dike. The other side is a river. Â The Ashley River from here ends just above Charleston, a few miles down river.
Low light, and using a walk around lens that needs it, made for some darker images. However the Herons were not moving around so I could shoot at a slower speed.
Marsh Fall Colors
Marshlands have their own fall color schemes.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Another Local
One of those random grabs because he made it so easy.
Night Heron On A Trunk
For a juvenile Black-crowned you can’t beat this spot for fishing. Sit up on the trunk braces and wait for something to swim by.
If the water’s not high there may be a place to stand below on the gate itself.
He needs to keep an eye on that pesky ‘camera photo’ critter, but he seems harmless.
I have never leaned over to watch when he drops down the trunk. It’s probably a little tricky with water flowing and maybe an Alligator nearby. I don’t need to make it any more difficult for him.
Great Egret, ACE Basin
A day that was a little ‘glum’. It just started dreary but a big white bird helps.
