I’m pretty certain that this will be the final photograph in my recent series of photographs of this egret at Whalers Cove, Point Lobos State Reserve, California.

OK, I think I’m coming almost to the end of this series – there is one more egret photograph after this one if I’m correct. :-)

Gull in Flight, Blue Sky

On the first day of March I went out for some “target practice” – trying to track gulls in flight from a bluff above the Pacific Ocean north of Santa Cruz, California.

I was using a new zoom that provides a 400mm focal length at the long end. Although I’m not primarily a wildlife photographer – not that I don’t give it a try from time to time – I have to say that trying to photograph gulls as they pass by in flight is a real challenge, and renews my appreciation for the skills of those who do specialize in “birds in flight” (or “BIF,” as they refer to it) photography.
