A couple of years ago my brother loaned me his Canon 10D camera and a monster 600 mm auto-everything lens. So far, he has not asked for it back so I have been putting it to use. The gear is much better than I am, but despite my limitations I have been able to capture some nice bird images.
Each week I'll post an image of a different bird, with a little about the bird. I'll mix backyard birds with more exotic species.
This week's featured bird is the Great Egret, photographed in breeding plumage on the Texas coast.
