That last one is a dandy! The green/grey/"red-brown" bird against the bright blue water is hot!

Thank you! I love green herons.

Nice shots, Dan! I love the feathery look of the egret in #1 and the colors of the bird in #3!

Thank you. It was very windy which caused the feathery look on the first one.

Thank you. The Egret suprised me and I missed several shots of it, but I was happy to get that one.

Beautiful Dan, #2 and #3 are my favorites. In #2, the wings are almost translucent, and #3 is so colorful and sharp.

Wow, my thoughts exactly. Even a slight angle away from you on flight shots makes the bird look like it's trying to get away from you. Also, I'd suggest getting out at sunrise and shooting in some "soothing" light. The Bay area has SO many photo opportunities we are able to shoot some nice stuff and be done by 9 am. The Green Heron's barnacle and shell encrusted perch is perfect.

Thanks Bobby. Eventually I will be able shoot when their is better light. I know you guys don’t know me, but I work long hours and when I’m not working, I have heavy family obligations. So most of my photography is in 30 minute snatches when the opportunity arises. So if the light isn’t optimal I just try to do the best I can. I’d rather get a suboptimal photo when I can than not take photos at all. But I do appreciate the advice. I’ll follow it one day.
