as Egret Fest comes to an end

[Harryb]

Hi you'll,

As you all should know 3/31 signals the end of Egret Fest http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/bncry.gif . I just want to thank everyone for their fine participation and remind you that you only have 11 shooting months before Egret Fest 2006.

Here's a few Egret's I've run into the last few weeks

The regal Great Egret

Get out there and bring back some egret shots! I'm all shook up now.

YOU USE ELECTRICTY IN this shot :thumb nice Harry very good flutter :D jeff

If this keeps up, I am going to have to buy me a resident egret. The wild ones go to Florida and California.

Really, ours do leave. And I am suspecting that it is the summer season they are gone for and that they start leaving about yesterday. I even noticed that when I didn't have a camera anymore, to speak of.

Maybe the people in some of the other states want a chance at my egrets.

Hey Jeff,

You now have a lot more time to post your egrets:clap I have a 1.4 Nikon TC and a 1.4 and 2.0 Sigma TCs for my Sigma 70-200. I almost never use the 2.0 TC.

Harry, this has to be one of my favorite shots of yours. Nice and sharp, and the colors are great, as is the exposure. Neat shot.

I agree, fantastic.

I was wondering if Egret fest could be delayed a month next year as Egrets dont start returning to the north for a couple of weeks yet. Just a thought.

Hey Rich,

Greyhound???:scratch I never said Greyhound. That's a little upscale in light of the donations received so far. Not to worry though the pick-up has pillows in the back and you should be OK unless it rains. One little thing though, they kind of expect you to do some strawberry picking for 12 hours a day. You should reach egret country by June. :D

[evil eggplant]

That's better, Harry. Thank you. :thumb
