040705 Soaring Egret

AS I was getting ready to take the picture of this Egret he took off. I had spent alot of time creeping up on him to get a really close shot. Wildlife is not known to cooperate.

Yes but then you managed to catch him in flight! Great shot!

At least you got him in the photo, Katie. Nice shot.

No, but that´s what makes it such a challenge to succeed in getting that one photo that´s really great. I promise, you will feel very pleased when you get that photo you´ve been trying hard to get. :-)
And even if this particular bird wasn´t cooperative you will get your chance later on and this was a great attempt. Well done, Katie.

Isn't that the truth! We as photographers spend much time trying to set up the great photo, just to have the #@@#$% critters run off about the time we go to snap the picture.
Still, you have a good photo here.
