Description
Taking a small vacation (from work and sea-going birds), I decided to just do some renders for the fun of it. I started playing with Howie Farke's UltaScenery sets (with the eventual hope of figuring out how to get my plant models to work in that system). In any case, I created a wetlands scene, put in some and thought the scene worked well enough to share.
The snowy egret is the featured bird with some Blue-winged Teals flying by (I should really do some more ducks). Lost in the background are some mallards, sparrows and a Little Blue Heron (you can his rump pointing up through the reeds). Also, there's an out-of-focus Banded Demoiselle (damselfly) and some honey bees swarming around the daisies in a couple areas.
