Summer - Egret - Brad

I always wait for these big birds to return during summer. This fellow was wading in the water for a long time, he did look at me, but with an Olympus camera, the E-5, he did not feel threatened, (one reason for not buying a bigger camera), :), it was looking intently for a fish, I waited also, then it was late morning, I got hungry, not for a shot, but for my lunch, left, hopefully he got his, it was much easier for me, I went home and fixed a sandwich,

Yes, these wonderful white birds are a sure sign of summer. No matter how many times I see them, I still think they are lovely. Well, they can look pretty yucky with their necks full of fish. ha! You did a good job keeping the whites from blowing out. I think that is the hardest part of capturing these birds in sunlight. Shirley
