Captured this snowy egret at City Park yesterday. This one was very territorial over this rock. Thanks for looking.

The night herons were still busy working on their nests as well.

Love that "Einstein hairdo" on the egret. Nice flight attitude in #3, and seems sharp from wingtip to wingtip.

Nutty Professor on the first one- Great Capture Dan.

Your egret should be entered in competitions. Like the herons also.

#1 sure puts a smile on my face
#3 is great also. I really like the curve of the wing tips as they load with air.

Great eyes in those flying captures, Dan. That's some "hair-do" on the snow egret. No wonder he is territorial.

Great images. Love the showy snowy egret.

Another great collection of images. Excellent flight shots of the herons, and the "do" on the egret is priceless.

I love how you capture birds' eyes so well, Dan. Another professional caliber series of images from a master!

I sympathize with #1 hairdo! The eyes on the other are awesome. Very well done!

Posted by Don Grall on May 31, 2011 at 11:48 PM

That 1st one is awesome! The flight shots are very good, but really love the uniqueness of #1

Great work as always, Dan. That first one takes the cake though!
