During the late 1800's and perhaps into the early 1900's, the Great White Egret was hunted almost to extinction because it was fashionable for ladies to have large plumes in their hats. Unfortunately for the egrets, their plumes only appear at breeding season, so naturally ...

    Hey Harry,
    Good to hear from you too!. I signed up here months ago, then got busy at work (Don't you just hate it when work gets in the way of your passion? ne_nau.gif ). Now I'm back and thought I'd throw a few images out there for people to view.

    Wow! Love the detail. After having so many of my egret shots get trashed, I envy anyone who can do what you just did.
