Description
When I was in southern California, I spent a lot of time riding my bike down the path along the Santa Ana River. Quite a ways upriver, there were always flocks of egrets wading, feeding, or just resting. I was just about to be on my way and this one took off just below me.

Hey great capture, love the way you left plenty of room for him/her to fly.

And we have lift off, firing thrusters #1 and #2 and now #3. Cool Shot of a Gull that is Able!!!!

the composition is all water and open space, and the bird is in bright whites & grainy blues, and those blues harmonize with the water & the grain makes him seem made of air as much as of body, which suits his flight head on. A nice looming pov, restful too, and it feels very painterly. (Poor joke: A biologist who studied egrets all his life was asked if he liked his work, and he said: "Hey, I got no egrets!") (sorry...)

Well caught for an inpromtu shot, these muvas are quite fast once they get aloft, so I'd say you did a great job!.

Has someone upset Ronnie? having a go at Canon's and Nikon's lol.#;0) Excellent capture Marylin, I can just see you pedalling along the riverbank, your Fuji swinging from your neck, a screech of brakes camera to eye snap one off. Sometimes I wish I could still ride a bike as I used to like cycling along the canal bank. since I had my knee cap removed I cannot do a full turn of the pedals with my right leg. It just won't bend enough. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

Has he filed his flight pattern? Wonderful movement you have captured.
MrsLubner
They do have a most interesting appearance in flight. Not very graceful getting off the water/ground but with long legs trailing behind, they have a wonderful grace about them.
