We have been borrowing our friends canon7d and his mega lense! We know that sunrise catches the best shots and that you want the sun on your back and the birds in front of you. We use the green Automatic setting and just fire off occasional shots!! We feel very lucky!❤️🍀

Here is the same group of birds a few moments later.
It is for sure a juvenile black crowned heron. If you scroll back on our page a little you will
Find a picture of it after it flew over our heads to a tree.
I don’t think there’s any cattle egrets here… Just a mixture of snowy and Great egrets.
