For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Waders, here is yet another GBH. The herons and egrets are just too photogenic! I like how this photo captures a front view rather than a profile. #Nature #photography #naturephotography #ECK #Wildlife #birds

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BirdSupermodel Any bird captured looking like it's posing for a magazine cover shoot. My capture while the egret was scratching that itch on its back looks like a pose to our human eyes. #Nature #photography #naturephotography #ECK #Wildlife #birds

An egret standing on the branch of a fallen tree above marsh waters. The egret has stretched its head around to its back to preen.

For the #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BestOfTheMonth, a great white egret taking off straight towards me. A rare perspective, and framed nicely, too. I made the bird go back and re-shoot this again and again until I got it. 😜 #Nature #photography #naturephotography #ECK #Wildlife #birds

This parula was worried about the snake, but I didn't get a photo with both before the bird flew away. So I merged two photos. #StunDay #Nature #photography #naturephotography #ECK #Wildlife #birds #reptiles

I noticed this parula jumping from branch to branch and not flying away. Finally I realized it was agitated about the snake but by then it flew away. So I merged a photo of the bird and a photo of the snake.

Here's a #pair of egrets for the theme of #BirdOfTheDay. I like their posture, both looking upwards. It's easy to imagine that they're doing something together, like yoga or singing or just sunning. #Nature #photography #naturephotography #ECK #Wildlife #birds

Two white egrets standing in shallow marsh water. They both appear to be looking upwards as they stand next to each other.

For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Redheads, here's one where all you can see is the red head. It's an odd composition with the tree trunks going in different directions, and movement blurring the cardinal, but I like it. #Nature #photography #naturephotography #ECK #Wildlife #birds

A male cardinal in the crook of a tree, between two trunks of the tree. All you can see is his head, looking to the left.
