Fanshawe Photography Course - Causeway Marsh Overlook

 

We drove next to the trail and lookout platform on the Causeway.

Right in the water in front of the lookout platform, A Great Blue Heron, fishing.

They do look prehistoric.

He was very co-operative, giving us plenty of time to play with angles and reflections.

A quick opportunity to try a bird in flight again. The shutter speed was right but they are still very difficult to follow and soon it was flying away

and I went back to photographing non moving nature.




as we walked the trail to the next platform.




When we reached the platform at the end of the trail we were rewarded with this beautiful yellow island.

We all stood on the platform, searching for subjects.

In the distance, Egrets and Herons and

a Kingfisher.

In the water below; a Muskrat.

We saw a bird fly to the yellow island but it was so well camouflaged I could only tell where it was by watching the reflection. Pedro thought it was a Lesser Yellow Legs.

We were so focused on the distance that we nearly missed a snake lounging next to us.

We hurried back to the cars as we realized that the bird banding, our next stop, would be ending soon.


The Heron was still there



A couple more shots and

back to the cars.
