Justa flowin and a blowin in the wind.........





Hello All,

I took off a little early from work and headed down to the Baylands Rookery. There were lots of Snowy Egrets getting busy picking mates and showing off.
There were also quite a few Night Herons there too. Most of the birds were up in the trees. They'd fly in and out of the trees right into the Sun. So no flight shots, but the wind was blowing and the Egrets were dancing....lol Even with the mixed lighting, I think they came out OK.


Time for bed.........


Thanks for looking,

    Great shots. I really like the finite detail in the feathers.

    Note: you may have external links turned off under Customize Gallery. I had to copy the links and view then in another page to see them.

    David,
    Sorry about the links. I had to load these on Pbase, cuz I was having Smugmug probs last night. I attached from Pbase, like I do from Smugmug and obviously that doesn't work ne_nau.gif

    I have since uploaded them to Smugmug and have edited the links in my post(although I couldn't place them where I wanted) headscratch.gif

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Steve: Great shots and #1 is a winner! I love how you've captured her in the fold of fronds, all those spines and feathers mixing it up is great.

    Thanks 4labs :D

    Yeah, with Spring on the way there's going to be lots of bird activity on both coasts clap.gif Nothing as X rated as Ginger's post rolleyes1.gif Although, I did get a series of shots of Northern Harriers doing the deed :uhoh So much activity. I went late and figured I'd only see a few birds and I saw dozens. Unfortunately, they were almost all up in trees. Birds, go figure...... :lol

    Thanks Dixie :D

    Nah, it wasn't external links, it was taking the url off of "properties", instead of my normal copy and paste 11doh.gif I couldn't get these uploaded to Smugmug last night :pissed After 3 tries, I gave up and uploaded them to Pbase ne_nau.gif And then proceeded to screw up the link.....Laughing.gif That's what I get for posting when I'm so tired rolleyes1.gif
