Egret...

Used to see these occasionally in San Diego, but they're all over here in St. Augustine:

Very Nice shot. I love Egrets in flight, they seem so graceful and efficient.

Very nice, Steve. And you didn't blow-out the white on its back.

I see them occasionally here in Tennessee, but not often. I got some shots of one a couple of months ago, and was really surprised to see it.

Very nice photo. Beautiful bird.

That's a Great Egret nicely captured Steve. I recently photographed several of them and found it to be a little challenging to expose them without blowing the whites. I think you did a great job.

Great photo.

Thanks for the comments!

The leading edge of the left wing appears almost a tad blown out but, over all, I'm happy with this shot...

Beautiful detail and tonal control on the white. Nice capture as well.
