Blustery Day
20151001-_DSC9114
This great egret huddled down close to the water each time a strong wind blew, just as we might do to stay warm and out of the wind.
Went to two parks looking for migrating birds, but there were no new ones. Watched the egret for 25 minutes, and it caught one small fish in one attempt for a 100% catch rate.
Winds gusted up to 29 mph/47kph. This was enough to blow me and the camera around creating a few blurred shots. This was the sharpest photo, and the angle was nice. Usually the bird's mandibles are not open, but it had just taken a drink of water
