The Marsh

I finally got my new Canon 50D so of course I had to go give it a test run and I must say I am very pleased with the results.

In this first image I am really pleased that I managed to catch both the wings and the splash while this Great Egret was fishing.  It would have been even better had he come up with a fish this time, but you can’t have everything right.

This next image is of a Snowy Egret which I caught just as he was landing on this stump.  I have put a second image of this in the gallery.   I really have a lot of fun shooting these birds.  Watching them splash around chasing fish is quite amusing.

And of course I had to post this little surprise.  It’s not everyday you run into a gator in the wild in Texas.  I knew there were some in the marsh, but you really don’t expect to see one.

The rest of the images can be found in The Marsh Gallery
