Reddish Egret Flight 1

J.N. 'Ding' Darling National Wildlife Refuge - Sanibel Island, Florida
March 21st, 2022
I was trying to capture some images of this Reddish Egret fishing for a meal. Their energetic movement accompanied with their unusual wing movement can make for very fun captures. Unfortunately, this particular Egret was on the wrong side of the refuge for the best light. Before he left the area, he did take flight and fly towards and past me. I was able to grab this capture as he approached. I like the light effects over his wing and across his beak and face caused by the direct light of the late afternoon sun, and his flat wing position.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
