    That’s a great photo. I wonder what the parent bird was watching with its head up like that?

  5. That’s awesome that you are able to live near a nesting colony. It would be fun to be able to capture great Moments of this beautiful bird. I tend to see them when I visit my parents in the Bay Area of California. But I never have seen one yet roosting in a tree. Excellent photograph.

    Great, great photo. They aren’t exactly “little” baby birds, but they are still cute. And egrets are always lovely.

    I am glad to see that the master of bird photography is participating in BPW. After buying a 400mm and slogging through the tropics, failing miserably, I have such new found respect for your work. Maestro!
