    Very nice shot! thumb.gif

    When I started hunting for wildlife to shoot, a few years ago, I actually came across one of these at a local marsh that I mistook for a Great Egret! rolleyes1.gif

    Haven't seen one since. :(:

    That's an amazing looking bird! I guess that was a tricky shot with all that pure white. Beautifully done.
