Dip Feeding Snowy Egrets

Hi All,

Sorry I haven't been around much, but I'm moderating a bird forum on another site, so my posting time is pretty well consumed over there. Thought I'd at least stop by and say "Hi" and post a few recent shots. Here's a series I did a couple weeks back of some dip feeding Snowy Egrets - Enjoy!

Re: Dip Feeding Snowy Egrets

Re: Dip Feeding Snowy Egrets

Wonderful series, Bob!

It looks like there was quite a large school of fish by the looks of #3 and #4. I imagine a lot of other folks got in on the action!
