Night Heron In My Viewfinder

May 30, 2020 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography 2 Comments

I was focusing on and shooting everything except this Black-crowned Night Heron. Basically he flew into my line of sight.

There is an island off to the left of this photograph that has become a smaller bird rookery the last few years. Unfortunately vegetation is thick so visibility is limited.

Birds leaving the island pop out from the far side and go by so quickly it’s rare to get a good shot.

At first I didn’t even look at these images because I assumed they were out of focus.

For the record; no grand plan here, it just happened.

Taking A Short Cut

Here a Great Egret took a short cut and flew through the center of a rookery.

In the background you can see a juvenile Heron and small Egrets still in a nest.

A wide view of an interesting old cemetery.

This is a rather unusual image in that you have an unobstructed view of so many old stones. Large trees and Spanish Moss create a cover in most of the older cemeteries. Organized rows and paths were not in use until later on.
