Publisher's Synopsis
There are birders who use binoculars and can recognize innumerable species. Then there are bird photographers who may or may not be great birders. The author is the latter, more photographer than birder. So, he often finds himself photographing the large white egrets and the large blue herons that bless the many wetlands of SE Texas. Easier targets, for sure, but no less resplendent. The purpose of this book is to present these magnificent birds in their most characteristic activity, that is, in flight. In addition to many photographs, some comments about the birds are offered. Camera and lens settings are included. There are taxonomy and birding location tables at the end. Lately, the author uses a dot sight and shoots Micro Four Thirds, a system optimized in its smaller sensor, body and lens sizes for enthusiastically getting out into nature and photographing wildlife.
