Description I have been looking for the perfect photo of one of these birds, all along the Eastern Seaboard, and lo and behold, on the way to the beach, down the street from my house, there she was sitting. Even after I got out of the truck, it sat there posing for me. I suppose in some strange way, it took pity on me . Needless to say, I hope I did it justice

thank you, I was tickled by her, I felt as if she were posing for me. I was able to walk up to about 10 feet away, till I stopped for fear that she would fly away

Very nice job. I know from experience how hard it is to shoot the Egret. Shooting a solid white bird on a bright day can be even more frustrating. Congrats.
