Great shots all. You did manage to get in close to the birds, something really difficult!

They are gorgeous birds. I appreciate the kind words, everyone. I'm fortunate enough to live near a park with a population (7 or so nests.) of egrets. The chicks keep the parents so busy with finding food that they will let someone with a camera get fairly close while they hunt.
