Canute already tried... with similar results!

Guest		24-Jul-2005 10:52
Never seen anyone fishing with a frontloder before.

Nice capture!

Guest		23-Jul-2005 13:27
That's gonna be one heck of a sand castle...

Nice capture! i need a front end loader to get close to the wildlife:)

Go Egret!

Great shot.

Karen Leaf		23-Jul-2005 02:51
Amazing the egret doesn't seem to mind that huge machine moving backwards. Great shot, Herb.

Don't they have car washes in CA? nice catch

Guest		22-Jul-2005 23:58
Excellent catch, Herbert! Didn't his mother teach him never to drive in the ocean?

salt water = rust!

Chris		22-Jul-2005 22:36
Right on, Herb

Coleen Perilloux Landry		22-Jul-2005 22:27
Great eye, Herbert. The egret is waiting for whatever he scoops up.

Pepe Zyman		22-Jul-2005 21:43
Good eye!

Sharon Rogers		22-Jul-2005 21:04
I was thinking King Canute trying to stop the tide. :-)

laine82		22-Jul-2005 20:54
How long will it take him I wonder..!! :>)

Lazy 3L Photography		22-Jul-2005 20:52
Now there is a site you don't see everyday, even without the Egret....what a fun shot!

Jackdad		22-Jul-2005 20:40
great juxtaposition!

Glendower		22-Jul-2005 20:20
Nice shot - perhaps this is a cattle-pillar egret.

Guest		22-Jul-2005 19:46
it depends : if he is scooping up all the sand and if the the tide is coming in, then ... Nice bird !

Dan Chusid		22-Jul-2005 19:41
It'll take him longer to scoop up all that WATER!

Guest		22-Jul-2005 19:32
David & Goliath..... Great image!

Robin Reid		22-Jul-2005 19:25
Oh Herb, I regret that I didn't at first see the egret.

Robin Reid		22-Jul-2005 19:25
Fascinating shot. I do think it will take him a very long time to scoop up all the sand!
