Description
The Ibis Ignore the High Drama at the Pond
I got several shots of this dispute between the Red Winged Blackbird and the Great Egret. What I loved about this image is the way the two Glossy Ibis just go about their business, ignoring the dispute, heads down and intent upon the task of foraging for food. The blackbird was swooping in to attack the Great Egret. We thought the bird might have a nest nearby and did not like the Great Egret being so close to its eggs. Conjecture? Or did the two have a history?
Also created a alternate version with a more painterly feel.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.

Love everything about this...The natural setting, the perfect capture of the attack of the Red Wing blackbird and the expression on the face of the Ibis! You even captured the ripples in the water!
