I've got this thing with hummingbirds lately, I keep bumping into them.
Hopefully this could lead to a similar kind of relationship with egrets.:D

    that seems to have been its favorite perch because it kept returning to it while I inched closer.

    Yep! That's the one! rolleyes1.gif...just kidding.
    I actually shot this one yesterday (thursday) while hiking through Griffith park.

    I agree Froggy, it's really nice when everything comes together.
    I was actually on the lookout for Hawks, but I guess this is an acceptable substitute for the time being.

    Oh! so that was you Thusie, I heard that "ohoo" al the here in LA :):

    William, it's always good to get compliments from you. Lots of respect.

    Thanks guys and gals
