Quick Departure
Two nights ago I saw this great egret in the marsh pond silhouetted by warm setting sunlight. He seemed to be relaxing and just taking in the sights when suddenly he got quite a bit agitated. He started squawking at someone or something and quickly left the area. I never saw what it was that got the egret all riled up but I suspect that as usual, it’s another egret all the way on the other side of the pond that needs to immediately be chased off…

Che belli questi scatti in controluce, l’acqua sembra dorata!!! Splendide foto, complimenti Phil
Ciao, Pat
Sono contento che ti piace l’uccello in oro acqua Pat! 🙂
Once you let one interloper in, then m,ore will follow. Lovely golden light, Phil.
That’s the idea, there is never room for one more. 🙂
Thanks Steve.
Such beautiful photography.
Well I appreciate that, thank you.
Love these!
I’m happy to know you like these!
What fascinating silhouettes, Phil. He certainly does look upset about something. 🙂
He got real upset real fast Sylvia. And oh BTW…this is “Radar”, remember seeing him previously?! 🙂
He is the egret with the transmitter pack on his back with two antennas sticking out.
Wonderful silhouettes! Great photos, Phil!
Beautiful shots Phil.
Yes, I remember Radar. Didn’t realize he was such an agitator. Beautiful backlit shots.
Those silhouettes are just right.
Wonderful 🙂
I love the way the light on the water goes from gold to rose! The first shot reminds me of the beautiful swan shots. (Lucy still has the card on her mantelpiece, by the way, Phil and it still gets comments from visitors!)
The backdrop and silhouette is just breathtaking Phil!
Beautiful silhouettes.
Silhouetted by sunlight is dramatic!! Great capture, Phil.
Beautiful Phil!
Boy, they get squawky really fast, don’t they? Such a large area, and yet …. just MUST run that other guy off! It looked so peaceful and warm until that started in, lol.
Stunning work, as always. : )
