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.
This past week we had some snowy egrets relaxing and preening in the marsh just prior to sunset.
The air was calm with no breeze making the water still with a reflecting mirror effect.
All photos were taken within about 20 minutes of each other.

It was a surprise that is was so still considering the marsh area is right on the beach where it’s normally quite breezy!

Such magical images, Phil. What don’t my Snowys perform like that, instead of just pecking around on the grass? 😕 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
