January 4, 2012 - A reddish egret in flight

Lots of bird shots, being processed from Florida ! sorry, if it's getting boring :) ! thanks for the comments on my upside down composition yesterday !

late edit : thanks Gail ! this is a reddish egret and not a tri-colored heron as I previously thought. the tri-colored heron according to the guru - google is white underneath the wings.
January 2, 2012 - Flying high - an egret in flight at Ding Darling NWR, Sanibel Island, FL. sorry I clipped his wings a little bit !

November 30, 2011. Canada geese in flight.
At the zoo, there's a largish watering hole to be shared by the rhino and the elephant. A large fleet of Canada geese have instead taken charge of that hole. They swim about in the water and fly back and forth when the larger mammals approach.

edit: this is taken with Nikkor 70-200mm VR lens + 1.4x TC, nikon D 700.
