I love this picture. These birds were just two of scores of others at a lagoon in the New Orleans Zoo. As it got late in the afternoon, the birds became flighty, and I was determined to catch some of them in flight. This crane (or whatever) and kingfisher (or whatever) both flew to the top of the hut, and I began shooting, hoping that I'd catch them as they took off for their next perch. This was one of the first of those shots, and it appealed to me because of the contrast between the tall white bird and his shorter, more colorful buddy.
