Two eye level fly-bys and an anhinga portrait
Jan 13, 2014 16:40:39 #
I just got these shots about an hour ago in the park adjacent to my house. It's rare to get an eye-level fly-by and I got two of them this afternoon. One a great blue heron and the second a double-crested cormorant. Unfortunately, the cormorant is not the kind of focus I like, but it was happening very fast and I was lucky to get the shot that I did. Finally, I shot this handsome male anhinga sitting in a tree.

Thanks, they are very common around here - I see many of them every day. If you haven't seen it, be sure to check out the anhinga shots I posted yesterday after one speared a fish.
