Thanks for viewing/comments! This Gal/Fellow seems to get a bit over

excited such that his feathers all stand up. Sometimes, I wonder if it's

testorone/hormone (does animal has that?) or it's too much viagra - LOL!

Warm regards Tm!

indeed!....nice shot

keep shootin'

ot

Actually isn't it nice when you cathc a bit fo wind and a bird with attitude to give you great and interesting shots as you have done here. I like the low light and the nice accents on the white by the cooler tones... Well shot and presented... MJ

GREAT shot! Bigger is better IMO. Thanks for posting. Pete.

Thanks you Folks!

MJ, It's not the wind that got his feather up. It's ... viagra /joke  .. Actually, it's his anger/upset reaction that is shown with the raised feather. I was shooting him normally (early morning, sun comming up and no wind) with the feather all laid down. Then, all of a sudden he became a porcupine as such, I was wondering why and briefly took my eye off the view finder to see another egret had landed nearby. He/She (no way - for me - to tell of what gender an egret is) then proceed to chase the other one for quite sometimes. Typical agression of egret (or some mean people, LOL) in teritorial disputes.

Hmmm, the more plumage they wear, the shorter their fuse; yep, just like us ;-)....  Actually, this is an excellent photo that shows off this guy/gal perfectly... Mike

LOL, I think you summed it up very well Mr. Mancil! :-) I never want to shot egret much any more but when it's slow, what the heck! :-)
