\"ReddishReddish Egret in flight with clouds in the background – Nikon d200, handheld, f6.3, 1\/400, ISO 250, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 160mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Just a very simple image today of a Reddish Egret\u00a0flying over some sand dunes. I noticed the egret flying in my direction and quickly backed up my zoom so that I knew I’d fit the whole bird in the frame.<\/p>\n

It was nice and sunny to the east but a storm was coming in from the west over the Gulf of Mexico, I like the stormy sky in the background and how the vegetation on the dune grounds the frame.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
