Egret remains motionless not even making a single ripple on the water in order to catch it's Prey. They are Great Fishermen. Have A Great Day ! E J

I believe this is my favorite Egret photo of yours Frogz. It is the essence of the hunter captured. Just great.

I wouldn't make a ripple either, at least for a few seconds. Then I would fall in. LOL. Another great egret shot, EJ.

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas

Well, don't worry. If Gustav comes your way, there will be plenty of ripples. Another good bird post.

Great composition Froggy

They are great fishermen like you say, & their bill is sharp enough to impel an unsuspecting fish.

Lovely shot

Looks like it's about to topple in, they're not the most elegant of birds are they?! Great shot EJ, love the reflections here.

Beautiful EJ. I was trying to get an image of an Egret yesterday but I could'nt get close enough to make a difference. Was watching him move....unless you stare at him...you really can't even tell they are moving.

If it means their survival, I guess they have to be still. Wonderful shot and interesting framing.
