Nesting, Great Egrets
Getting Pretty, Egret
A back lit Great Egret preening her bridal feathers.
Getting the moment she has a feather outstretched is the shot we all want. However, we don’t get one very often. Everything has to fall into place. In this series I actually caught four.
That means it will never happen again.

An Every Day Sight Here
Very common, but that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate what we have.
American Alligator in the sun.
Working Hard, Pelican
Playing catch up with the image ‘To Do’ list. Some photographs never get to be finished, but Pelicans are different.
A series of Pelicans working a school of fish.

In The Back Porch
How lazy is this. I never even got off the chair.
A head popped out from behind the electric outlet.
A camera was on the table so of course I took some shots.
This is a little off in so many ways. When I first moved here the concept of a lizard running around was absolutely weird. I’m sure plenty of people reading this feel that way.
For me now… it just is.
I’ve been ‘southernized’.
These Two May Never Leave Home, Heron
They may be ‘late bloomers’. I have seen only a few half heart’d tries at wing flapping.
Maybe they are getting fed a little too good.
I think they were some of the earliest birds to hatch but here they are. Many others are off and completely gone.
Sliding By
One of those ‘found on a walk’ photographs.
ACE Basin, South Carolina.
Leaving Me Behind, Great Blue Heron
This bird was foraging for food to bring back to the nest. Her beak looked to be full.
I stayed back in the trees so as to not bother her, and I didn’t. She had caught a few things and it was just time to go. My position gave me enough open view to catch the slow lazy take off.
