    I don't have the best gear for wildlife, but I was proud of this one. I grabbed it on a visit to CO in the summer. Shot with a Nikkor 70-300 VR, propped on a camera bag on a car roof. Thanks for looking!

    Wow. The quality in this thread is tremendous!

    My "best" are really some of my favorites but I think they are pretty good photographically speaking as well.

    Really love this shot and the way you framed it! I am assuming you were able to run fast enough afterwards to avoid losing some limbs? :D

    Simo - I love that egret shot. Nice wingspread, but I also like the curves in the water behind him. Well done!
