How elegant! I love their graceful bodies and intense looks peering out of their green masks. Beautifully done.
Those are elegant looking birds with their green eye shadows. :)
Superb captures of a beautiful bird Kyle.
Perfect exposures.
Great shots of these gorgeous birds!
Great photos of the nesting egrets.
I was showing Suzanne your fantastic captures and we are hoping to see some scenes like this in Florida. I suspect these beautiful pictures are the result of many hours of patient photography. Fantastic! :-)WBW
Hiya Kyle,
Catching those beautiful creatures in mid feed - what a treat.
I hope this doenst come out twice I got the boot a minute ago...
HOW interesting it must be to watch the nest building and the family rearing! Great Photos-
These are fantastic shots. It's always interesting to see nesting behavior. I really love the interaction in the last frame too, especially with that long extended neck!
Fine close up photos!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
They are so beautiful!
Lovely birds and very well captured.
Stunning captures of these elegant birds.
Beautiful Great Egret images! I particularly like the 3rd one: so solicitous toward its mate.
Very impressive images Kyle.
Great lighting, detail and behavoural shots of a very elegant bird
