Egret Feeding on Perch

Louisiana

Ran into a flock of egrets feasting on perch yesterday.
They would perform a fly over and snatch a fish out of the water.
It was a good test of the D7000 autofocus system which worked really well.

I shot these off my bean bag, would have been really nice to have my tripod and Wimberly head instead.

Nikon D7000
1/1600s f/8.0 at 650.0mm iso400, TC-17E-II full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Either I am just getting older (eyes) or the focus point looks like it is just behind the Egret in the immediate background water. Just like my old D70 when I took pictures of windsurfers on the water. Oh well ..... Excellent photography though ! ! It would be nice to see the original image.
