Not quite sure what happened. I was taking a shot of the pigeons and this is what I captured.

I recognize that gulls create a mess wherever they go, but in flight they are spectacular birds.

Egret

Egrets, like fresh snow, are pure white and that confuses the light meter. This leads to loss of detail and sometimes white turns blue or grey, unless underexposed. You can see the loss of detail in this shot. One more reason to underexpose more. Also note that the heron family doesn’t always eat large fish, as in the case here, they catch smaller fish close to shore.

I would think from the look of this bird it’s either molting or aging.

If Looks Could Kill

Red-winged blackbirds have a mean streak and sometimes attack people. I caught this bird from a distance but you could sense the hostility.

They tell me these are common but it’s a treat when I see one.

I won’t argue that taking birds in flight takes practice. What’s hard is getting a good composition.

This was a messy shot, I knew what I wanted (it’s what you see). In editing a number distractions had to be eliminated to get exactly what I wanted.

Egrets are like snow you have to underexpose for detail.

Wonderful subjects to shoot. I am using Topaz Photo AI for sharpening and noise removal. A very capable program.
