EGRETS, EGRETS EVERYWHERE

Dallas, TX

I don't think I've ever seen so many at the lake in one place. Must be getting close to mating time!

So they like to hang out in groups... I saw some come to our area this year... I counted 13.. last year we had 4 and then 2 years before that 2... usually they just don't make it this far north..

Very nice to see this group of Egrets within their natural environment. Nice light for this shot.

Looks like everyone was shooting birds today. We have a few ducks at our pond, but they are very skitterish. Nice collection

Perfect exposure for the contrasty tones. The reflections are great. Nice how the egrets stand out from the background. V

Oh Cindi, didn't you see the paper, 34th annual Egret Convention to be held in Dallas this year! Last I heard we had quite a few from here that were going to attend. Nice capture by the way!

wonderful group.. I wish we could get close to our egrets around here, but no way :(

That's quite a gathering. Well captured.

Wow, they sure did congregate here. Maybe lots of bait on this end of the pond? This is a beautiful photo! V

I don't know a thing about egrets but I'd bet Coleen or Scott can give you the skinny on egrets.
Glenn D.25-Jan-2011 04:20
Egrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention.
But you've done it your way, and found many more in a beautiful collective pose. V
Guest 25-Jan-2011 03:59
What a wonderful sight, Cindi! Great capture! :>)
