Great Egret (Ardea alba)
I enjoy photographing a Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) taking off and getting airborne. It takes a lot of effort for the Great Blue to get airborne so the whole process seemed to take place in slow motion providing me the opportunity to shoot 70 frames. Each frame is entirely different due to the shape of the wings, positions of the head and neck and contortions of the Great Blue's body. This is frame #7.
A Double-crested Cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) had been diving for fish along a narrow channel in a salt marsh. As it came to the end of the channel it surfaced a few feet where was was standing.
