It must have posed for you.

Great set of shots!

Carver said...

That's an amazing sequence of the egret eating. Great shots.

Betsy Banks Adams said...

Gulp!!!!! That egret is enjoying his dinner... Great pictures, Elieen. I'd much rather see an egret eating a snake than to see some pictures I saw last week on a blog of a snake eating some kind of big bird (Australia)... GAG!!!

Hugs,
Betsy

Eileen, these are great shots. I love bird watching. I've never seen this type of bird in real life. They sure are fascinating.

Yes, the glacier on my header is the Mendenhall Glacier.:)
Have a great day!

No WAY! That's incredible that you caught that. It doesn't seem like it would be that common. Am I wrong? I'm really impressed!

mick said...

Great set of photos! It always amazes me how much those birds can get down all at once.

BirdingMaine said...

Excellent photos of the Great Egret! He surely has found a big enough meal to keep him full for a while.
