Tri-colored Heron Flight 5

Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge - Merritt Island, Florida
January 2nd, 2024
I grabbed this capture as I watched this heron defend his territory from a rival Tri-colored Heron. These birds will show some serious aerobatic skills as they fly fast through the air in these territorial battles. I got this shot as the heron was pivoting hard to its right and composed in vertically as I wanted to emphasize the wing position.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
