Nesting Time for Great Egrets
Apr 21, 2019 20:30:22 #
Greetings to all my old friends here. Sorry to say that worsening arthritis in my hips has prevented me from getting out as often or walking as far as I once could.
The local rookery is one of my favorite places. It is near, doesn't require a long walk and the new life is awesome to see. The Great Egrets are one of my favorite species.
Here are some recent photos showing courtship, nesting and new families.
Hope that you enjoy these. (Please use the Download feature.)
Note, all taken with Nikon D7100 and Tamron 150-600mm zoom (G2), hand held through a chain link fence.

Loooove #2&5!!
Thank you very much Karen.
I have very few shots of this courtship pose, so these are among my favorites also.
Welcome to the Hog, loved your hummingbirds. And I'm jealous - I have never seen or photographed a hummingbird!

Annie, I appreciate your comments very, very much.
Gregory was a dear friend - we got together several times at his home in the Everglades and at my home in Pasco county. As you have noticed, our styles are very similar. To have my work compared to his is an incredible compliment. I was able to attend his memorial gathering at his favorite place in the 'Glades. He had many friends in various walks of life - I am proud to be among them.

He was a kind and generous man.I absolutely loved his photography.I was away from UHH for a while,and learned of his passing. Such a shame to lose such a friend.He was one in a million.
