Description
puerto madero, buenos aires, ARGENTINAThe Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve is a green area having unique features located by the River Plate, in the southern corner of the city of Buenos Aires. A few blocks away from the heart of the City and government buildings, the Reserve offers a different promenade where people can come into else contact with wildlife.
A great variety of trees, grasses and shrubs typical of the Delta and the coast of the River Plate can be appreciated from the trails. Vast Pampas grasslands add to “aliso de río” and native willow woods. In the riverside small groups of “ceibos”grow from seeds brought in by the water. Reedmace and reeds act as a background for ponds where a varied fauna lives. Bird species typical of the Pampas wetlands prevail. Other zoological species are present, though not so easily seen: several fish species many amphibians and reptiles, some mammal, countless insects and other invertebrates that can be found in the water, among the plants, or when crossing trails.

I like to think that maybe the bird is sort of looking at the photographer maybe and perhaps maybe at a fish swimming nearby...
very slick!

We don't have egrets, but I did shoot a great blue heron last year; I have the slide somewhere.

This is great and the angle is really cool. Usually when I get too close to a bird, they just fly away.:sighs:
