Is This Where They Got the Design for the Concorde?

I watched this Great Egret for a while this morning as it hunted along the shore of one of the Delta Ponds. When it flew to another spot to hunt I got a couple shots of it with stretched out neck and spread wings. It reminded me of the British Concorde jet plane, a fabulous design. It made me wonder if the egret perhaps influenced that design.

Can't spread out more than that!

see what you mean with its distended shape...egrets look more graceful on the ground though..

Very nice! But no! The 'Concorde' came from the Mirage fighters, and from the White Stork... LOL

Lovely, it's all wings and legs.

Really a gorgeous capture, Vern. I love the aerodynamic look of the wings and tail - and yes, the neck too. And all against that pretty gold backdrop. Very nice!
