Egret in Flight

The great white egret that makes its home at Josey Ranch Lake in Carrollton Texas is very photogenic. I already included a picture of the bird in my post for August 3.  A few days later, the walk around the lake provided ample opportunity for egret photography experiments.

The classic picture of an egret in search of a meal was almost too easy.

The water was not quite still enough to get a perfect reflection….but I tried the shot anyway.

I got a little too close and the bird took off. I managed to take 4 pictures as it flew across the lake. This one is the best focused.  

The clip of another picture shows the flexing of the feathers at the end of the wing; the rest of the photo is unfocused or over exposed.
