Snowy Egret Bad Hair Day - Click image to view larger!

Fantastic in the large view.  A very stylish hairdo on this guy ;-)... Mike

Even with a bad hair-day, she (?) is graceful and elegant. Great capture.

Thanks Mr Mancil! LOL, too funny ... :-)

Thanks Greg & Verena! ... only 1 good shot out of 50+ for this one (lucky shot). Hard to get good composition, sharp subject in busy surrounding and varied lighting condition since the camera tends to get confuse with busy background ..

Great capture.  It was well worth the wait and mucking around in the wetlands and swamps.  Very well done.

Thanks Thomas! I appreciate your rating of 6 for this shot, btw. Personally, I think this shot is between 5 or 6 (note that I shoot bird daily and I should know, lol). While I don't care about rating I find there are too many raters on this site have no ... clue ... about wildlife shooting.  Again, I will have fun not matter what! :-)

There are people who thinks if they have the equipment  they will get the shot (wrong!) .. it's a mixture of luck and tools + knowledge (hard to pin down what it takes ). What I do know is ... lots of shots and moving/action/dynamic shots are much more difficult than static shots!
