Morning sun reflections can change a drab image into something a little more interesting.
If there wasn’t a cypress tree here to give character this would be a certain delete. Just enough here to be a keeper.
Morning Reflections
The Landing Actually Ended Well, Wood Stork
Some landings are soft and smooth. Others more like a controlled crash.
For some reason they like to land right in the middle of all the others. Of course those others, not so happy at times.
Still this one ended well, maybe even better than some.

Parade Of Pink, Spoonbills
A very wide shot, please click the photograph to view the full display.
This could only be printed using a custom size, but this would never get printed so it makes no difference.
These Spoonbills were traveling together all in a line, so that’s how it’s formatted.
Roseate Spoonbill Balancing Act
This Spoonbill wanted to get a little lower on the tree. There also wasn’t room for error. Other birds were getting a little angry at each, and losing your place here could be a problem.
He very carefully inched down to the next branch. Very slowly too.

Out In The Marsh
One of those quick shots taken when a little movement is spotted. The marshes are large so even with 500 / 600 mm lens you can grab a landscape type shot.
Billy Goat Gruff
This is completely out of character for us. Yet there is something about animals like this that makes me want a portrait type shot. Perhaps it’s because we didn’t have any of these critters growing up in NYC.
One of the things I find striking is they actually have a beard in real life. I thought that was the stuff of nursery rhymes.
Great Egret At Bear Island WMA
While out looking for the Storks and Spoonbills I found this Egret sitting out in the brush. One of those little things that remind me of why we do this.
Great Blue Heron
Pushing my lens through the brush. Closer than I had thought.
