10-24-2015 Same bird, a different position

Be sure to view in Original Size

The egret jumped/flew up to a log boom (sorry I missed that) and continued fishing.
I was looking for a strong diagonal composition - his long bill helped :)

Thanks very much, Hal and Elaine! He/she is one of the more fun birds I have photographed recently. Nice and big and didn't fly off! I'll post one or two more shots - I don't want to bore you :).

Dear Terry,
Love the shape of the egret's neck.
Great narrative there.
love the shot.

An excellent image Terry.
Don't think l've ever seen one fishing
without being in the water. Very unusual.
