Great Egret: York County, Maine, USA, July 2024 — I was photographing Least Terns and Plovers when this Great Egret flew toward me and then over and out toward the mouth of the river. Close over. I had just increased my minimum shutter speed to 1/4000th of a second to see if would work better for the terns in flight so this is pretty sharp 🙂 OM System OM-1Mkii with M.Zuiko ED 100-400IS zoom at 800mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds-in-flight and action modifications. Processed in Photomator.
