I hit the river for about three hours yesterday. I took 499 photos. This was the best shot of the day. I nailed this Snowy Egret as he was flying past me. You can clearly see his bright yellow feet in this shot and his face is in near perfect focus. I lucked out here. The only thing lacking here is green. Green really helps bring a nature pic alive. In another month this same scene will be much more colorful, with that yellow face and those feet standing out against Mother Nature’s favorite color. Of course I won’t manage to put the bird in focus then. JK

Here’s the same shot, with a close up of the head.
