Here's a shot from the rookery islands off of Rockport TX from a couple of springs ago. These Great Egrets were having a tussle over a nesting spot.

I have one of them doing that - but I think I'll delete it now. Really nice!

Terrific action, Nate. Great interaction between the two egrets. Both are pin sharp and lighting is perfect.

This is awesome action Nate. Tough light, but the action really takes over and makes it an impressive photo. Love it.
