Hi Lynn,

Good capture there. They are hard to shoot w/o blowing out the details in the feathers. The Great Egret has a body length of 37-41 inches and a wing span of 55 inches. It is a thrill to see them take off and fly.

I have to get up in the AM to catch the light. Then I go home and nap until the sweet light of the late afternoon. Its rough being a photographer. :cry
