They are smart at fishing and know what techniques to use to attract fish. Neat capture.

It's leg position is great. Almost looks like it's coming in for a landing.

How wonderful this shot is!! I saw lots of snowy egrets in Puerto Rico, but truly nothing as graceful as this! Beautifully taken, Vern! v.
