Ottawa West

Looking for a place to land.

These birds are obviously not looking for the same food source; hence, they are very tolerant of each other. The Egret lands amid the Geese and calmly starts fishing.

A very nice in flight Egret photograph nice detail and the setting with the Geese really makes the image superb.
The light you had was really beautiful.

Great to show the difference in body types - the sleek egret vs the bottom heavy geese.
