Thanks for looking.

Snowy egrets.









Grim Reaper from MI4





Some cattle egrets from Gator Land













Sandhill Crane





Great Egrets from the local bird islands.





















Some fowl shots.

Thanks Dave. The white egrets are a very attractive bird and difficult notto like. I never tire of shooting them, despite their daily appearances at my house.

Hi Mike

You definately have a keen eye for photographing birds...not just osprey. I love the egret against the dark water, awesome shot!

Take care, and keep the bird posts coming.

Thanks. I'm using one of those new fangled digital SLRs with a 1.6x crop factor sensor and a 200mm lens.
