Air War, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

I dont know what the name of the brown bird but as soon as I seen it goes into that snowy Egret territory I just aim my camera and wait. Finally I caught a fight with wild life. That Sunday was a day for me.

Bonjour,
une photo exceptionnelle, de l'action en direct. C'est très original au moins, des attitudes que l'on n'a pas l'habitude de voir.
Compliments.
Daniel.

Hola Phuoc:

The brown bird is an inmature little blue heron or redish egret. Size may indicate the former, however, geography would be a helpful way to make a desition as each bird may have a distribution that can help with the ID.

I played with the pict in Photo Shop and applyed the 3 1/4 tecnique to get the birds off the center on the photograph. I hope you like the idea. I amposting the pict at the workshop.

Regards

Hi Phouc,
Your photo was a featured favorite today! WOW!! It certainly deserves favored status. Wonderful detail in this stunning action shot. I don't think I've ever seen one quite this good. I've added it to my Birds in Flight Collection and placed it in the headline position. I hope that's okay.
