Egret in FlightThis image was taken at the same time as the happy seals. The seals were just to the left of this guy. It was a fun day to be out with my camera! |

Egret in the WindThe last couple of days have had some amazing winds. Wild weather always makes for great photo opportunities. The backdrop of this image looks almost like a painting, but the gusty wind made these beautiful ripples on top of the bigger waves near the beach. The timing of the heavy gust was perfect too, just at the right time when this beautiful Egret looked up from foraging in the tidal pools.bird 51 | Egret 4 | Egretta thula 3 | feather 22 | ocean 64 | Snowy 1 | Snowy Egret 3 | water 59 | wave 25 | wind 1 |

Snowy EgretSubjects like this really reward you for being patient. This Egret was slowly wandering around the edge of the water looking for a snack. We must have looked like quite a site, him stalking lunch, me stalking him. Over about 20 minutes I was able to get really close. |

Cattle EgretI found this guy poking around the stream along the path to Nojoqui Falls near Santa Barbara. I knew he was an Egret, but I was not sure what kind.Once I identified it, I found out some interesting facts about this bird. Although it is now distributed over the entire world as recently as 1910 there were no records of it in America. Apparently, in the early 1900s this bird migrated across the Atlantic ocean from Africa then spread quickly across South and North America. USGS Patuxent Bird ID InfoCenter South American Birds Site, with some interesting information. |
