This little blue heron was intent on having fish for breakfast. Given the dark sky conditions due to the impending thunderstorms, finding a bird to photograph out in the open with no trees around was very helpful. My normal desire for fast shutter speeds given how quickly birds tend to move had to be moderated to account for low light and the need to get sufficient light into my camera. Thus, poission on par 3!
Today is my 65th day! Thus I am well started upon this year long effort. Now that there are a reasonable number of photos, it is time to add a index / table of contents organized by bird species. I will update this file often. The index is permanently housed on my other blog, NorthStarNerd.org which more easily permits the uploading of files.
I’m down in Florida working on the spring break new hit TV series, Egrets Gone Wild! Here are a few exciting still photographs which show both a “great egret” and two “snowy egrets” partying to excess in the Florida sunshine. While some of you may believe these altercations were over a favorite fishing hole, this video producer knows better!
With respect to bird identification, the two links given above point to the “All About Birds” web site from Cornell University. This web site is an excellent resource for the online birder.
And now … Egrets Gone Wild
