Great Egret

I shot this just before he landed. I love watching these things land with the huge wingspan they have.

Nice catch 'CB'.

I love 'white bird shots against vivid greens'. Some great detail in the wings.

Matt.

Thanks Matt!

Nice shot!

Thanks Artyman! This is my first year shooting birds and having a great time doing it. I'm a little disappointed its raining today and I can't get out to do some shooting. For us in Michigan winter is right around the corner, and thats when I hang up the camera till spring.
