I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
As I was leaving the marsh tonight, I stopped to grab one last photo of this great egret silhoutted by the setting sun.

Saved the best for last then !..great last shot 😀
Well…it was the last shot of the night anyway.
I also got some Ibis crabbing, GBH portraits, and osprey flights that I’ll have to get to at some point. 🙂
Thanks for checking out this pic!
a wee bit special – for me it is the movement in the water and hint o light on the wave the bird is creating
Glad you enjoyed this pic Scott.
Such a stunning shot!
Thanks a bunch Molly!
This is most elegant! Just discovered that there are a couple of egrets on Oregon. Shall search and hopefully get a shot of my favorite bird. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for looking Judi and I’m happy yuo like the egret.
Phil, I look forward to your daily photograph posts and enjoy them very much. Many times I say “WOW” and often I would say “double WOW.” Thank you for sharing them. I especially enjoy your background information and often I relate to your comments with the old expression, “And now for the rest of the story!”
Thank you Marta for your very kind comments!

I know he should! Thanks for looking!
amazing. Why don’t you embed your signature on photos?

I prefer not using watermarks which can be considered distracting.
Wunderschönes Foto. LG Gabi

end of the day – and the water is calm 🙂
Yes it is, just how we all like it over at the marsh. 😀
