I just may be getting the hang of photographing birds. Initially, I couldn't pan my way out of a wet paper bag. I keep practicing and results are getting better. This patient egret (I think) was kind enough to pose for me.

Nice shot but Maureen will be on your butt for posting a bird in Wildlife instead of Birds :p

It's too close to Christmas to start getting myself in hot water. Maybe she'll forgive me. I don't post in either because nobody wants to see a blurry mess. My next post will be in the right spot, I promise! :cry:

Excellent shot. The placement of the egret in the frame is great, and you did not blow it out. Nice job.
