The Egret has a seven foot wingspan and flies with it's neck curved. They visit my area of Canada only for a couple of months late each summer.

The duckling tried to lay low and sort of play dead. It was great to be able to get the photo, then he took off, running across the water.

Some bulrush leaves blowing in the wind.

I submitted a photo of this same bird (a tern) on the same piece of wood yesterday. Of course, I don't really know if it's the same bird, but considering he is the only tern in the area, it seems like he sits here waiting to catch fish. I was surprised to see him again, and once more, I was able to get very close without him flying away.

This was shot on a calm day. The tern was soaring overhead, and would dive into and beneath the water and most times would come up with a fish in his beak. They move fast and it's a challenge to keep them in focus and in the viewfinder.

A common tern, facing the wind and with his feathers all ruffled. It's not a good day to fish. The water has ripples and it makes it hard to see. Normally these birds soar high above, looking down into the water, then swoop down to catch their fish. I was only about six feet from this bird, I had to zoom my telephoto lens all the way in for a change!
