This photo was taken last Friday. I was taking photos of some mares and their foals when I spotted the egret. The focus is not as good as I would like, for he got off the ground and into the air quickly.
Thank you for your comments on my photo from yesterday.
Any suggestions on taking a better photo of a bird in flight would be appreciated.
"Can you imagine any better example of divine creative accomplishment that the consummate flying machine that is a bird? The skeleton, very flexible and strong, is also largely pneumatic — especially in the bigger birds. The beak, skull, feet, and all the other bones of a 25-pound pelican have been found to weigh but 23 ounces." ~ Guy Murchie, Jr, 'Song of the Sky, 1954.
