If they pass by like this I have no choice but to take the shot.
The Egret are one of the most photographed birds here. Obviously beautiful, but also common.

Heron Marsh Scene
A shot from a salt marsh, Great Blue passing by.
Another shot taken wider, further away, than usual to show the bird in their environment. He flew to me, but the world has enough up close Heron shots. This gives some perspective.
Heron In The Swamp Daisy
A flower I had completely forgotten about. This is a late fall bloomer in the swamps here.
One of the first shots of a Heron for that morning and he shows up in a bed of Swamp Daisy.
The low sun and yellow flowers made for spectacular colors.
After these few photographs I moved on leaving him to his morning.
Charleston, South Carolina.
Double-Crested Cormorant
I had forgotten how sleek and smooth a Cormorant is when they swim on the surface.
Ring-billed Gull
The bird that truly ‘gets no respect’.
And yet it’s probably one of the most photographed birds.
When I was learning to shoot birds in flight I stood on the banks of the Connecticut river for hours with these Gulls.
They are agile, fast, and usually close.
Folly Beach, Charleston, South Carolina.
Harbor Pelicans
Brown pelicans seeming to be guarding the shrimpers tied down.

Herons In The Rookery
It’s always a good sign when the Great Blues make an early appearance in the rookery. Every year the environment changes and Herons may not come back.
Standing mid way through the swamp this Great Blue came in low and close, just like they always do.
And… I’m not so rusty as to miss the shot.
Brown Pelican Fly By
This one looks really prehistoric !
