Across the Pond

I went to Junction City Pond this morning and saw two or three Great Egrets there. I tried to get a bit closer to them, but they would move away so I was not in their safety zone. So I was forced to get shots across the pond. This image was cropped just a bit. I liked the way the feathers seemed to be used for brakes in landing.

No doubt aeronautical engineers have studied egrets landing at some stage of their career..
