For no particular reason this years initial Great Blue nesting images were done in B&W.

Well, one reason was the light on the nest and a nice blurred dark background in the swamp. It’s hard to get contrasts in an environment like this.

I’m thankful several birds have chosen nearby Cypress Trees, I am able to get decent close in flight shots and stand in a comfortable spot in the swamp.
