I spent a winter's afternoon photographing the antics of a group of Sanderlings (Calidris alba) slipping and sliding off the beach rocks, running on the beach sand and feeding on snails in the surf.
A Green Heron (Butorides virescens) crosses over a mudflat at high tide to a new fishing spot.
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.
