Great Blue Heron Chicks
They are looking closer to adults, but still need to be fed for a while longer.
Great Egret
A Great Egret preening in a rookery, White Ibis in the background.
Night Heron in Fog
Juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron. Shot while he was perched on an overhang branch in the fog.
Over time this island has become a small wading bird rookery. Night Herons, Little Blues, Snowy’s, and Green Herons have created their own rookery away from the big birds.

Black Skimmer, Salt Marsh
This is the largest of the Skimmer family with a length of 2 feet, a wingspan around 5 feet.
They will travel along the southern US coast, however their primary range is throughout South America.
Skimmers are the ‘speedsters’ of the shore birds making them one the hardest birds to photograph.
Slowly I’m actually learning patience. Once in a while I’ll add something new to this web site. I was pretty busy shooting this spring now I need to tackle the PC as a leftie 😂😂
Great Egret, Passing Through
A short series here on an Egret moving past my ‘open’ spot.
If I stand in this one spot I can usually get nice flight shots as birds enter this swamp heading towards the rookery islands.
The trade off is birds also fly along the waters edge close to me. This one came by close and even pulled back on the lens there’s no time to get a decent angle.
Spoonbill Portrait
An image here that had been uploaded to the website but never published.
While sorting through some post op issues I still have photos uploaded hanging around the web site. The IPad has never been my friend, however for now I declare a truce.

Taking some time off from the site, hope to be back around soon.
