Bird Photograpy Weekly, Tri-Colored Heron

Howdee all,

I took this photo at Green Cay Wetlands in Florida.

If you have never been…I suggest you check it out your next time in

Florida.

A great place to get up close and personal with the birds.

I love all the duck weed at Green Cay,

Adds nice contrasting color and the birds seem to love it as well.

    Tina,
    I would gladly help with whatever questions you have. I am still a beginner as well...birding and photography..ha sometimes I just get lucky..
    I just started digiscoping a few months ago. We recently bought a scope, my husband made an attachment so that I can hook my camera up to it..and that is about all..I usually put my camera on auto but when I took my class I was told to use the iso settings etc...I still need to try that.
    I havent tried digiscoping small birds much..they move around so much and my camera is not fast.
    Maybe someday I will get a digital slr.
    anyway ..you can email me anytime if you have questions.

    That is a great digiscoped photo.

    Small active birds are a challenge no matter the equipment used.

    A gorgeous, clear photo of a beautiful bird! The bright green color of the duckweed is striking also.

    Beautiful shot, Dawn! I think the Tricolored Herons and the Little Blues are my favorites among the heron/egret clan. And that brilliant green "muck" (what we've always called duckweed) sets off the subtle blues and purples of the heron perfectly.

    That wonderful green contrasts beautifully with the heron. And its green covered feet puts a smile on my face. The advantages of going barefoot.

    Awesome picture. The lighting is just perfect. I love the green duckweed (?) adhering onto its feet.

    Awesome capture of the Tri-colored Heron Dawn! And the background really sets it off nicely. I definitely need to do some bird photography in Florida!

    Superb shot Dawn! Looks like you are getting the hang of digiscoping. The duckweed does give a good color contrast to the photo.
