Snowy Egret & Laughing Gull, Fort De Soto Park_93E6806
Look, I am bigger than you. Stay away.
Little Blue Heron, Fort De Soto Park_93E6830
The little blue heron is a small heron. It is about two feet tall with a wingspan of about 40 inches. It has slate-blue feathers with a maroon neck and head. Its bill is gray with a black tip, and it has gray to blue legs and feet. Males and females look alike.
Egret IF & Landing, Fort De Soto_93E6861
So gracious in their flight and landing.

Looks to me that he wanted to say something to me…

One of the many wading birds along the beach allowing the opportunity for splendid shots.

I got carried away this time and got a real kick out of this. We all have heard and enjoyed of the “Flight of the Condor”, so I felt like we can also do the same for the Egret, flying so gracefully.
I followed this one’s take off till the landing with High Speed Continuous shooting mode with f 5.0, ISO 250 and 1/4000 Sec. A bit overwhelm by the number of shots. I hope you enjoy the view.
Two Great Egrets, Fort De Soto, Fl._93E6663
When they crossed, they formed some kind of a pattern.
Great Egret, Fort De Soto_93E6650
Not necessarily a migrating species, the egret can be seen almost in every water hole, and many photos have been previously posted by me, but I could not resit capturing that elegant pose.
