One target, three was to show off the amazing Snowy Egret! Zoomed out for the initial landing in the tree, zoomed in halfway for the landing, and a beautiful profile shot shot with the bird in focus to finish it all off. A lot of my work is heavily center focused on the bird, but I'm learning to incorporate more of the scene and the action in the process.

Will never get tired of watching and photographing Green Herons. While laying in the mud watching one of them, this second one flew in with its neck outstretched and ready to hunt some fish. Definitely one of my favorite shots for one of my favorite species!

The stars of this week's birding video, episode 27 of the year, the Black-Bellied Whistling Ducks! I spent hours back in June watching a pair of them in Chester County. The heat may have done me less than any favors, but it was a joy to photograph these Pokemon looking little guys for the day!

Flycatcher season is officially here! While it was far from a productive photo day for the most part, I did come away with probably my favorite photo of an Eastern Wood-Pewee that I've ever taken. Mid-chirp/song is always a special photo!

Could watch the Wood Ducks forage around in the water all day long. Glad she stopped for a quick photo.
