A good action pose- sadly you missed the focus a little

Thanks, Les. AF grabbed the far wing and somewhat the head. The close wing is definitely OOF. Darned depth of field! Egrets are supposed to be fuzzy and dreamlike anyway, right?

Yep, a little oof but other than that it's a nice capture.

Beautiful! I was about 6 feet away from mine and just started clicking. I had my long lens so I was just trying to keep it in frame! Mine is a little "deeper" with raised wings too

The Egrets at my local spot are as common as crows lol. When there's nothing else going on I settle for Egrets This particular one was in those green swampy plants in the pic, about 6 feet from the paved path on the way in. She was ignoring everything until I took a little bit too much interest. Then she decided it wasn't such a good spot after all.

Thank you Mitch I used my 600mm f4 lens for that shot around 50 feet away
