Great Egret Fishing
Ardea alba, in winter plumage, stalks the shallows of a small lake in Arizona.
Someone asked if the water was really that blue. My response: Yes, I had a magical vantage point for this shot. Increased the contrast a bit, but other than that, that's how it looked. I was shooting a War Memorial at a lakeside when the egret cruised in and invited me to do a photo shoot. The actual experience was even better than the photo.

5 Years Ago Today
Five years ago today I took one of my favorite bird shots in Arizona. Cousin Dick Callender, whom we lost this year, was my guide in Arizona.
