Great Egret - Startled and taking flight
52 Weeks Of Pix - Birds - Week 19. Taken May 5 - May 7 at Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City. The photographs I'm considering submitting for the weekly theme competition can be found in the set under my profile named: "52 Weeks of Pix - Birds".
I was cruising along an access road at the lake when I saw this bird's head through some brush. I stopped the car and was focusing in for a 300mm head shot from inside the car when it suddenly leaped up and started flying. That's the reason why its so large in the frame. Then it wheeled left before I could pull back on my lens to a wider shot and headed a direction where I could not follow with the camera due to the fact I was in the car. This one frame is all I got from the encounter.
