A dull and overcast day but I decided to grab the camera and check out the local park and pond. I spied the Egret coming in to land and hunt for some food. I snapped this shot as the Egret was passing me about face to face height. Using a Canon 1D4 and the 100-400mm lens. Shot at 1/500 second Tv Mode.
After the Egret flew off, I walked around the pond and searched out any ducklings, goslings, or anything else interesting. It was a quiet day. In a willow tree about 10-12 feet above the ground, I spotted this nest in a V in the trunk. Two openings and you can see a few large sized blue eggs. Any experts out there with an ID?
Some of the other birds that frequent this pond are robins, red winged blackbirds, green night herons.
Thanks.
