I keep going back to look at Leveling Off. I'm amazed by the wings
-- how the feathers at the tips curve delicately upwards... I
especially like the combination of straight lines  curves in that
one.  Both shots give a sense of the bird's grace and power.  Thanks
for sharing.

We also have Egrets in the Marina del Rey part of Los Angeles.

Thanks Keith. I've shot near the marina, and at the estuaries in Long Beach and 
Malibu as well. Plenty of good bird shooting locations in California. In truth, 
my  the bit of Michigan wetlands where I shot the egret is unremarkable. It's 
part of the Rouge River watershed, but it's just a brief stretch of undeveloped 
property between some office buildings and the eight lanes of Woodward Avenue. 
But I've nailed a number of egrets there and a blue crane as well. It's 
situated between a number of large lakes, and seems to be a stopover spot for 
water fowl. It does appear to be abundant with life. When I stopped to see the 
egret I saw a big carp digging in the bottom of water that wasn't even deep 
enough to cover his back.
