Looks like it has it's feet tangled up in the branches of the tree. Hope it didn't fall on it's beak. Nice egret shot again, EJ.

Such beautiful and bright colors Frogz. I like how you caught him in mid air. I would like to see this photo next to Eggrays latest Hummingbird post. The big and small of it. Good work.

Shoot 'em Buddy. You have got the hang of it. and yes, I do have A Great Day!
It is an egreat pleasure to see your high quality photo's of those pretty birds.
The only thing I don't like is that low c-index, but I guess it's hard to put a number on a work of art...

He looks like a proper 'gawky' teenager! Must be a terrifying moment the first time they try to take off. What a fantastic shot EJ, everything in focus despite the speed this must have happened at.
