Observation details
Continuing. Accidentally flushed from Sherwood Platform, and flew to the top of a tree. Found it later near a beaver lodge, with a Great Blue Heron on the top of the lodge. The egret's foraging eventually drew the attention of the heron (first video). Initially, the heron tolerated the egret's presence (second video). However, eventually the heron became less accomodating (third, fourth videos). Technical note: auto-exposure using spot metering on the egret made the background too dark, so I left it as center-weighted metering, since I am too slow with setting up manual exposure. However, I don't like the outcome: the egret just appears too bright.
