It's breeding time again, but I haven't had much time, or the right weather, to go shoot again, but was very happy with my one afternoon's outing.
1dmk4 and 400mm with 1.4x.

Very nice! #2 is spectacular! Great pose and spot-on exposure of those difficult whites.

Nice work Tina, I've only been able to get ONE cattle egret in frame this year.. It was sort of a once in a lifetime experience for me in this part of the US.. The bird was sitting on the fishermans walk at the local lake at dawn....pink redish morning light, happened to recognize the small Egret from about 100 feet away.... Haven't seen one since that day, it was a very nice scene/ moment in time to be a part of...
