nathangardner Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Looks like maybe a snowy egret. Look at the legs. Snowys have black legs and yellow feet.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_ferris Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <blockquote> <p>Scott,<br />Where was the photo taken? That will help us narrow the possibilities. I'd guess some species of egret or possibly a white heron. Also, I wasn't in your situation so it may not have been possible, but if I can't get close enough to the bird, then I can fill frame space by incorporating a reflection. If the reflection of the tree brach and bird was apparent in the water it may have compensated for a lack of intimacy. Nonetheless, still a great shot. I can't get enough bird photos.</p> </blockquote> I was down in central Florida, apparently, it is a juvenile Snowy Egret (so says the girlfriends Audubon app), that is why the legs are not yet dark. Here is a 100% crop. I tried for the reflection but couldn't back up with the prime lens enough without going off the path into the wetland, the photo certainly wasn't worth breaking the rules for. I did get some really close vulture images, but they have a habit of flying away from me, maybe I'm not dead yet! <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time, my daughter's team was the host gym so I was allowed access to the competition floor to get nice and close. High school gym, so lighting was still a problem.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcsenn Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>Really great shots again this week, like all weeks. ///////////<br> I went out to Pea Island NWR this past weekend, but it's still dealing with issues as a result of Hurricane Irene, so waterfowl there was far and few between, and the weather was not the most cooperative.<br> I had to settle with a pic of Martini on the couch. For the first year and, a half we had her she kept her tounge in her mouth, now she just has gotten lazy or something as she's almost always got it out. We've learned to embrace it.</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRCrowe Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 <p>It seems that Old Man Winter may have a touch of Alzheimer's and has forgotten about Southern California. This was last week in Ventura when there was high surf. The day before the waves were about a foot high. The waves were not so good for traditional surfers but great for the Kite surfers.

I really like Doug Obert's shot of the ice on the tree.<br> I'm not quite ready to try bird in flight so I'm starting with bird in walk pictures.
