Went back looking for the Egret again today. I had a little better luck as he was patrolling the bank and worked his way closer to me after about an hour or so.

Like #3 and see tere was some turtles just behind. Nicely done. JIM

Thanks Jim.

Didn't notice the turtle in the background of #1 until processing. That was just a bonus. Too bad I didn't have a higher shutter speed to freeze the action in #4. It could have been a killer shot. I guess it was for the fish.

Nice shots Tom, I think he's getting used to you

Thanks Tom,

I think he realized I was no threat but still the closest of these shots is at least 150 feet away from the bird.

No lens is long enough when birding it seems.
