Ridgefield Egret
There were four of these beautiful guy perched on this old snag. I watched them for 30 minutes before they took off, one by one.

Good action shot David. What I like about Ridgefield is between the residents and the "just passing throughs" you never know what you might see on any given day. Nice job!

Great action shot David. I like the way the feet look just above the branch like that.

Thanks Craig and John.

I agree Craig, it's nice to have a place like Ridgefield so close. With the combination of the residents and migrants, it never fails to produce.

How can a creature look so ungainly and so graceful at the same time?! :confused: Love this action shot.
