Would you please interpret the Tick Tech Talk for me? LOL. That's a beautiful shot of the egret, but I think I will pass on counting the feathers. I know I will screw up and have to keep starting over, and that will drive me mad. (Madder, I mean.) Have a great day, yourself.

Gliding upwards? That is how it looks when the wings are in this position. High above, the eyes scanning the area ahead, the undercarriage slightly raised - Great shot of a real take off, EJ.

EJ ... you are really getting some magnificent aerial shots of the egrets. Their wings looks so delicate & smooth at full wing span. S & F to HD.

Appreciate the Tick Tech Talk Frogz. That lens really does good at the extreme end. It is hard to believe you can do that hand held. Such a beautiful shot of the Egret. They always are you swamp rat.

Never get tired of your wonderful egrets photos, and plan to add this to my collection, but won't be counting feathers.

With thanks one more time.
