suemcc Offline Buy and Sell: On Lots of egrets at the Baylands (13) Spent two evenings at the Baylands recently. The snowy egrets and great egrets are becoming quite active, and the duck pond is always entertaining. By the way, I highly recommend bringing a bottle of wine while photographing egrets in the evening – makes an already enjoyable experience even more fabulous!!! As always, comments and critiques are most sincerely welcome. -- Susan #1 Snowy egret in flight #2 Another snowy, on his way back home #3 Snowy egret displaying #4 All ruffled up #5 Dutiful husband, of the great egret variety, with a stick #6 Closer to home #7 Snowy egret in full display #8 Great egret with a new stick #9 Snowy egret #10 Great egret stepping out from the nest #11 Great egret posing #12 Snowy egret trying hard to outdo the great egret #13 And one goose, just for variety… May 06, 2008 at 01:11 AM

Jude Perera Offline Image Upload: On Lots of egrets at the Baylands (13) Very nice series Susan. My favorites are #2, 3, 6, 7 and 9. Looks like you were handling your gear quite steadily after the bottle of wine. May be I should take a bottle of whisky in my next outing. Jude May 06, 2008 at 02:40 AM

camerapapi Offline Image Upload: Off Lots of egrets at the Baylands (13) Absolutely gorgeous pictures and most probably among the most beautiful shots of these birds I have seen in a while. The Egretta tula or snowy egrets are well known by their black legs and yellow feet. I am sure you know they only show feathers like those when they are in breeding season. Here in South Florida they are more plentiful during the winter months. I tried many times to photograph them at the Everglades National Park, always unsuccessfully. During a visit with the family to the Miami Zoo there was a beautiful one posing for me at the very entrance. The picture came out great and the enlargement printed with a professional HP printer was awesome. Life is full of surprises I guess! Congratulations for your excellent shots.
