photoartflightReddish Egrets At J.N. Ding Darling NWR
I am going through my Hard Drives cleaning up & removing images I do not need. But as I am cleaning up disk space I am finding images that I could use on the blog. These 2 Reddish Egret images were from a visit to J.N. Ding Darling years ago. The Featured Image was taken with a Canon 1D mkIV with a Canon 400mm DO lens @ f/4.5, 1/250 sec. The Courting Dance was interesting to watch and went on for about 1/2 hour.

excellent shot of the Egret Reed!
Thanks so much! They are fun photo subjects!
Great shots, Reed! LOVE this gorgeous bird!
Thanks so much Donna! It is one of my favorite birds to photograph! But I think I have a very long list of favorite birds to photograph!
Shhhhh….we all have a very long list of favorite birds to photograph! hehehe 🙂
Stunning captures, Reed!
Thanks Greta! They are fun to photograph!
Great detail in the feathering on that first shot – green really compliments the deep coloring in that specimen.
Thanks! J.N. Ding Darling NWR is a Great place to photograph wildlife! I think the birds are use to people photographing them so they are not as skiddish when you are photographing them! But you still need long lenses so you do not disturb them but still can get interesting images of them!
That first shot is fantastic, Reed! A beautiful portrait of a beautiful bird. Great determined expression in the eye.
Thanks so much Steve!
