My last post had a Great Egret in it and this one is a Snowy Egret. The Snowy Egret is a little smaller and has the black bill and the orange feet.

This shot is just perfect. The light is absolutely gorgeous for this shot. And it's sharp. Great catch Jeff!

With that dark blue background it looks like you got him to pose in the studio for the photo.

Fantastic Jeff! Wow!

Beautiful shot. The wings are in a shape I have never seen before. Was he just taking off?

So he had just jumped into the air. Explains the legs and wing in the position they were in. Great capture.

Let me add that this is the top of a pine tree where the bird is sitting.

Rick, the last two pictures in posts #1486 and #1484 were shot with my D600 and my Nikon 70-200VR F2.8

The post #1473 with the dark background was taken with the D600 with my Nikon 70-200VR with the addition of my Nikon 20E III 2X teleconverter.

This shot is a little different. This is a single shot of three different birds each going after the same piece of bread that my granddaughter had thrown in the water.

Another close up of a seagull. Nikon D600 with a Tamron 24-70 F2.8 lens.

Can you guess what this is? It looks kinda like a water color painting. Taken with D600 with my Nikon 70-200VR using my 20E III 2X teleconverter.

You could probably sell prints of this one Jeff. I suspect the original might be mis-focused? But the background is so nicely out of focus that it was worth giving the whole shot the out of focus look and save the day. And save the day you did with this wonderful post processing.

Can good glass make a difference? I leave it to you to decide. LOL

Jeff,I know a car dealership in Saco,Maine that flies the flag of the same size as the one in your photo.lol
