This Great Egret was not just passing by using that elegant egret glide I’ve come to love; he was on a mission.
Note the extended short feathers at the wing bend and the angle of the outer part of the wing.
He made a sharp turn right above me, providing an interesting view of his wing structure.
He circled lower then dropped down into the edge of the pond, just out of my sight.
Great series of this beautiful flight! Thank you Ellen
Thank you, Sandra!
Fascinating to see how it uses all the fethers to maneuver. As easy as it looks, wonderful slide show.
It is amazing how they can turn! Thanks for commenting, Hans.
Another awesome sequence, Ellen.
And a striking subject!
