Reddish Chase

Here are a few more shots of Reddish Egrets from my last trip to Bolivar Flats in Texas during my FeatherFest field trip.  One Reddish Egret was fishing when another came in and started chasing him around.

Taken with Canon 7D and Canon 500mm F4 IS II lens mounted on Skimmer ground pod with Wimberley II head

Aperture priority, 1/1000 sec @ F5.6, ISO 400, evaluative metering, +2/3 exposure compensation, 500mm

    I like the ones where they are feet forward landing.

    I agree with Lyle on the landing shot. Just looks natural with a clean background.

    Thanks Lyle. I tend to agree that it’s my favorite as well.

    Thanks Doug. It’s a challenge to get clean backgounds sometimes at Bolivar with buildings and ships around.

    Thanks David. Got lucky with all of the action that we saw, especially with the Reddish Egrets. Good times.
