Cattle Egret

Phil K · Apr 28, 2007

They are in breeding plumage now. Saw several nesting on Egret Island but too far away for photography. Finally captured one in flight today.

Soda? I thought it's the call of nature.

Thanks Joseph. Yes, they're beautiful and there're quite a number in our usual birding spot, probably because of the cattle nearby.

Simply Outstanding Phil this is one bird I have not yet added to my photo collection, I hope my first is half as good as these are

Great shots Phil. You did really well capturing the egret in flight. I'm officially jealous.:redface:

Thanks Mike. It's my first of it in-flight.

And I would be very happy if my photos are 1/4 as good as yours. :smile:

Thank you very much Frank. I think it's easier to capture an egret in flight than a baseball in flight.
