Great White Egret validating the effectiveness of his deodorant…I have successfully used this very same method.
Great White Egret week continues…and you should check out fatchance - he is whooping my white egret ass!
From my Great White Egret archive. (say that 5 times fast.)
Capturing birds in flight is a real challenge. This great white egret very suddenly came flying right towards me. I barely had time to swing the camera up but I managed to get off 6 shots…5 of them a great white blur. Just as I snapped this one, it crossed in front of the only patch of very surreal blue sky. Sometimes you just get lucky… and whisper a quiet thanks to your subject.
Is this anyway to treat the launch of GWEW? Seriously people-did you click and look at these pictures? It is an oriole missile sighting. Do I need to pshop in a cat in a cup…?
I get so moody when you people aren’t as excited as I am about something. And you know how cranky i can get…
To kick off Great White Egret Week (GWEW) a crazy oriole vs egret sequence! (By crazy I mean lucky) I was trying to swing up quickly enough to shoot this great white egret in flight. The oriole that was harassing him flew in and out of frame so fast I didn’t realize I captured him. He looks like a little missile in the second frame. (Click to expand-much better!)

Ladies and gentleman, we have lift off! (Much more interesting enlarged so click-away!)
Ghostly Great White Egret
These were taken around 6:15 am one morning when the marsh was blanketed in fog. It was eerie and beautiful–and so quiet. I came round a bend and saw a great white egret standing out in the shallow water but only had a moment to swing my camera up and fire off some shots before it flew off, landed briefly, and took off again. It was an otherwordly experience–this great white bird gracefully lifting off and floating deeper into the fog, it’s enormous wings, moving in slow motion. (click to enlarge)
If you find this bird as magnificent as I do, check out some other photos by different photographers here: http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/great-white-egret-photo-491.html
