This Great Egret uses it's leg to clear it's out stretched Wing which got caught in the branches while doing it's daily Excercise. They like to limber up a bit before taking the Leap. Notice the Aigrette Feathers flowing freely over its back. Have A Great Day! E J

No wonder the wings get caught somewhere when you see their size and all those feathers. Also an unusual and beautiful shot EJ!

I like how you caught it doing its calisthenics. How long since you heard that word? lol Another good shot to add to your Egret portfolio and for me to mine.

Ha...all I would have to do is attached a broomstick to that bird and use it for a mop. That's what I would use those fancy feathers for. What? It's coming after me? (runs and hides)

Beautiful Egret photo EJ! Like those Aigrette Feathers! I don't think I've ever noticed them in other photos. Thanks for bringing up my awareness! They make this Egret a very attractive bird! Thank you! Allen
