Egretta thula

Snowy Egret at Lovers Key State Park at Big Carlos Pass
Fort Myers Beach, Florida USA

While I make an effort to get as close to birds as possible with a concern not to disturb them,
I got extremely lucky with this Snowy Egret as it flew to me landing within ten feet. I recall a stiff breeze on this day
which allowed for an interesting effect on the bird's feathers. This shot was taken with the use of a tripod.

Wow Bob. This is such a magnificent capture. Your timing is super. Wonderful light, dof and just the right wind to show off the Snowy Egrets delicate feathers. Very nice work. Patience is everything. Big Vote :)

Really nice work Bob! This photograph sets a new standard for egret shots! Looks almost like a glamor studio shot - did you get the bird to sign a model release :-)
