Subject: [Birding-Aus] A new set of graphics to assist in egret identification.
In the never-ending quest to find better, more reliable and more interesting
ways to easily and accurately identify the five white egrets we are so
fortunate
to see in Australia I have created a set of “comparison” graphics which I have
loaded onto my website http://www.photos-n-guides.com/
The set of graphics, in the form of a small gallery of images, can be found by
going to the “Herons egrets bitterns” page via this link
http://www.photos-n-guides.com/html/herons_egrets_bitterns.html
and clicking on the “Egret comparison graphics” link at the top of the choices
displayed on that page.
Other links on that page go to pages containing an assortment of identification
tips for white egrets seen in Australia.
Each graphic in the “Egret comparison graphics” set consists of two species in
similar poses scaled to show approximate relative sizes and shapes. The
graphics
were created by selecting birds from various digital images I have taken over a
number of years, combining them into the one image and scaling them using
proportional lengths of bills and/or tarsi. Each of the five egret species is
separately shown with each of the other four.
I have plans to add extended image galleries for the five egret species but
that
will be some time down the track. Working on the website pages for something
like this takes time and diverts me from getting out to take more photos. And
working on creations such as the “Egret comparison graphics” quickly shows me I
need more images of birds in more suitable poses.
But who really needs an excuse to photograph birds.......and egrets in
particular?
