Hi Y'all,

A recent set from the Viera Wetlands

a great egret on the hunt

something catches its eye

the strike
204849464-O.jpg

a fish is caught as well as some of the surrounding vegetation
204849513-O.jpg

204849500-O.jpg

the fish gets the "Reznick Flip"
204849560-O.jpg

the vegetation gets the bum's rush

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I guess it's a safe bet that this egret is not an "Andy"!wings.gif

    As for Andy I was with him in his meat eating days. His reaction to a plate of babybacks was quite similar to the egret's reaction to the fish. :ivar

    Thanks Ric.

    Very nice series. I have yet to be able to capture a complete sequence. That is something to look forward to I suppose.
