I tried to sneak up on this Egret as slowly as I could, but it took off on me. I liked this shot anyway.

I guess you should have taken your shoes off and tip toed but Egrets are very alert and anything sets them off. but you did an exellent job catching the curve of his wings and legs during take-off...good action pic! Jimbob

Egret on departure. VFR (Visual Flight Rules) rules apply. Great shot and wonderfully clear. I love the grace and elegance of those birds. You captured it all.
Thanx

I like it too. To my knowledge, we do not have Egrets down here. I wish we did, they are beautiful birds.

I like it too Jim as it's a very good shot. Bob suggested: "Shoulda took a loaf of bread with you!", but think you should have achieved a still better result with a fresh fish, lol.
Well done JimegretwhenshefliesboB.

I want you to know that I really like this shot very much. I first saw it in t he VB and had to find out who took it! Wonderful contrasts through out, lovely clouds and such a graceful looking bird. He looks like he is soaring. Great shot, Jim!

They are hard to shoot Jim.
Next time don't sneak up just walk along as if you don't even see him. Ignore him and he'll stay right there.
Try it.
