Time To Go

We had two great egrets fishing in the marsh this afternoon and they both decided it was time to leave, one right after the other.

Must be headed our way! 😀 Beautiful flight photos. Up here they do a lot of standing around.

  Ours do their share of standing around too. But… I was watching one waiting for it to take off when another showed up and they got in a huge fight right in front of me.

As a nature photographer I envy you have all of this nature in your back yard. I enjoy every time I can come your way to shoot. Keep up the good work and feel blessed every time you pick up your camera. I feel blessed when I get the chance to capture a good shot at Mother Nature at her finest.
Happy shooting. You can see my work at http://miraclephotography.smugmug.com

  I tend to forget how big those wings really are. When one flies by close I can hear them.

Both are great captures, Phil, but imo with the position/posture of the bird as well as the light, the second image is outstanding! Fabulous!

The high contrast with the bright white bird and dark background is stunning. I know you don’t usually put these in B&W, but that would be striking.

You always manage to get such stunning pictures of these egrets in flight, Phil! I love the curves, the movement, and the dark background.

  Although I sometimes overlook the egrets, they are pretty and rather elegant birds.
