I was out at Jamaica Bay and saw this beautiful Great Egret in flight.  I mainly shoot birds because I love nature (that didn’t sound right) and it’s good practice as they’re challenging to capture.  But I don’t consider myself a “birder” and hence I’m not all that skilled at identifying what I see.  Had to look this one up to identify it.  Learned that one of the identifying features is the way they fly with their necks in a “S” curve.
