I was on my way up to my favorite spot this past Saturday, when I saw a great egret sitting in a tree that was partially submerged. The tree was one of the few around here that has started to change colors, so the white egret against the fall leaves was quite striking.
All of a sudden, this huge flurry of activity happened--HUNDREDS of swallows emerged from the tree, flitted about for a minute then landed again.
I stopped to take some pictures. I focused on the egret first, figuring it could take off at any minute.
1. This was my first attempt at the Egret photo. Might have turned out okay, if the swallows hadn't decided to photobomb it!
2. I did manage to get a shot of it WITHOUT the oof swallows all over it:
Once the Egret took off, I zeroed in on the swallows.
