21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Flying Away
This Cattle egret was captured at Wilpattu National Park midflight. I was trying to capture one of the other birds when this one came down swooping into the waters aimed directly at a watery movement. Though it failed catch its prey, it decided to longer in the water for quite some time in an attempt to catch another.
