From this morning. Recently a couple of these have been hanging out on the beaches in Gulfport. I'm hoping that they will stay until adulthood. Full frame, larger image included.

Very nice Bill. Really like the colors of the bird with those in the background and the IQ looks very good.

Well done Bill. The pose is very nice with the raised foot, and it's some nice light.

The light and colors are really nice and the background blends in well with the Egret. Beautiful image Bill.
