I followed a Great Egret for a while yesterday. This guy is the master of catching small fish. My goal was to capture a shot of the moment when the egret flips the minnow into the air to swallow it. Unfortunately, I didn't get that shot until the egret had moved into a dark, shady area (and I was greatly underexposed). However, I thought you guys might enjoy some of the shots. At one point, I saw the reflection of another egret in flight, and caught a couple of decent shots of it as it flew by. C&C welcome!

A great set with perfect control of the exposure. Well done.
