Snowy Egret

While waiting for the weather to clear so I can try out my new 7D, I ws perusing through some old bird images and found this one of a snowy egret from a couple years ago. I did not even realize until today that I had an image of a snowy egret. They don't seem to be very common around here.

Look forward to seeing your 7D shots, and your impressions of it, reports so far sounds like it is going to be an excellent bird camera.

Nice one, Bill.

Thanks Ken and Stan. I was just beginning to get interested in bird photography when I took this picture and didn't know very much at all about getting a good image. Not knowing anything about sharpness as it pertains to bird photography or adjusting exposure when shooting white critters, I just hand held the long telephoto while standing about 200 feet away. I apparently was very lucky on a few of the images although they all were somewhat soft and slightly overexposed.

Nice shot!
