Great Egret: York County, Maine, USA, October 2023 — I found this Great Egret on a Sunday morning along the Bridle Path, in the pools closest to the path to begin with. I can’t say it was hunting…since it took a shore shrimp or mumminchog every few moments…so more feeding than hunting. The water along the edge of the pools must have been full of whatever it was catching. Like a good seafood chowder, minus the potatoes and onions. 🙂 The Egret slowly worked its way back further in the pools and I remembered to take the environmental shot only when it was well out from the path. Landscape with the OM Systems OMD EM5Mkiii with 12-45mm zoom at 24mm equivalent. Egret with the OM-1 and ED 100-400mm zoom at 800mm equivalent. In camera HDR Scene Mode for the landscape. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications for the Egret. Processed in Pixelmator Pro. Assembled in FrameMagic.
