Great Egret posing at pond's edge in Chincoteague.
Morning feeding time for the Great Egrets and their fellows. The birds were out in the pond. This was my first try at fluttering birds. I wish I understood the behavior, but love the majestic white birds in silhouette.
A bird with big numbers in the neotropics, this cormorant just caught the fish thrown by the boatman. Our leader would get his camera lined up and then more or less yell "go" and the boatman threw the fish. I am amazed I caught this beautiful picture, as I normally freeze when an animal is in action.
