I made it out to the Consumnes River Preserve today and found one willing egret.





Which one do you like, color of B&W?

Spectacular........................

DDT was banned in the US in 1973 and sense then the bird populations have really recovered.

We are so lucky to have birds in places where we fly fishing.

I like the color picture best because it shows the bird with all its beauty.

You might see if the CA DF&G, Nature Conservancy or the Federal Fish & Wildlife would like to have those photos?

Very nice pics!

They are fine fishermen in their own right... or else. A matter of survival for them.

Not easy to get close to them guys. What mm lens did it the job?

Great pictures, I like the one in color as well. As Ron noted, a very difficult-to-approach bird, which is what I think makes these very clear images special.

These were all with my 300mm f/4, i love this lens.

I lived down the road in Thornton which back then the bridge was closed so our street didn't get much traffic. I used to ride my bike or walk down onto the preserve. It's a really cool place first thing in the morning on a foggy day.
