Speeding Down the Runway

This isn't actually a liftoff shot, Snowy Egrets don't take off this way, but I couldn't resist the title since it looked so much like a fixed wing aircraft in this pose.

Incredible!

What a moment!
This is really awesome and captures a special feeling.
With the wings so straight it is amazingly plane like!

That wide wing span and speed will surely provide more than sufficient thrust for a quick take-off....a splendid capture....V

Looks like he's getting airborne like a white glider on the water. A striking shot! V

It does look like a plane. The elongated wingspan is beautiful. V

Dashing across the water... what a great catch. And yes, the wings do look like fixed aircraft wings. :) Nice work. V

Very nice wildlife presentation they are one talented bird love to see them gliding with the wind currents.
Tack sharp and placed perfectly into the frame.

Love the pose in this great shot, and yes, the title is perfect, regardless.

looks like a glider, and moves like a sprinter...outstanding shot catching the wings on the diagonal and legs so dynamically positioned..

The total wingspan is striking.
