Canute already tried... with similar results!
Guest 24-Jul-2005 10:52
Never seen anyone fishing with a frontloder before.
Elaine (etfitz)23-Jul-2005 15:44
Nice capture!
Guest 23-Jul-2005 13:27
That's gonna be one heck of a sand castle...
steve mcsweeny23-Jul-2005 12:41
Nice capture! i need a front end loader to get close to the wildlife:)
Guest 23-Jul-2005 06:39
Go Egret!
Brian McAllister23-Jul-2005 06:01
Great shot.
Karen Leaf23-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!
Chris22-Jul-2005 22:36
Right on, Herb
Coleen Perilloux Landry22-Jul-2005 22:27
Great eye, Herbert. The egret is waiting for whatever he scoops up.
Pepe Zyman22-Jul-2005 21:43
Good eye!
Sharon Rogers22-Jul-2005 21:04
I was thinking King Canute trying to stop the tide. :-)
laine8222-Jul-2005 20:54
How long will it take him I wonder..!! :>)
Lazy 3L Photography22-Jul-2005 20:52
Now there is a site you don't see everyday, even without the Egret....what a fun shot!
Jackdad22-Jul-2005 20:40
great juxtaposition!
Glendower22-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 Chusid22-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 Reid22-Jul-2005 19:25
Oh Herb, I regret that I didn't at first see the egret.
Robin Reid22-Jul-2005 19:25
Fascinating shot. I do think it will take him a very long time to scoop up all the sand!
