Heye,
What a nice sequence of pictures. I love it, you followed the whole process and got good contrast on the shot. Well done.

those are amazing! We see egrets here, but somehow they do not look so snowy! Maybe our water is not as blue…

Incredible. Love the “live” action. They are even more spectacular large.

Gorgeous captures of the Snowy Egrets fishing John! I would love to have seen one of them pull out a fish but hey, they spend most of their days fishing so you know they don’t catch something every time.

I have never seen two egrets fishing side by side like this before. They look like they are almost synchronized!

Great photos indeed! White egrets are always difficult to photograph as white color tends to burn.

Love the photos-so clean and bright!I have problems getting photos of all white birds with my point and shoot.It seems to work better on darker days-too much glare from the sun I guess.
