Description
My ride along the river the other day gave me the chance to see more egrets in one place than I ever have before. Some were alone, peacefully wading in the water (see previous post), and then there were flocks of them on the river bed. This shot feels almost prehistoric, gives them a very different look. Not the graceful beauty we usually see, they actually remind me of vultures, waiting for the next treat!!
zoom for sure!!

I don't think I've ever seen them on dry land, always in the water or flying. Surreal scene, and great capture! Yes, they do look rather like fragile white vultures, maybe vulture ghosts....

No regrets. The egrets are going Hollywood.

I don't think I have ever seen them on land like this Marilyn, very unusual, and they shouldn't be haeding South yet should they? I would have thought it a bit soon for that. Whatever the reason they made a good shot for you to have. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

You're getting some really great captures on your mini vacation. This does knid of look a bit ancient...especially the land area.

lol @ andrea.... love these egrets

Vivid testimony to the fact that egrets have no secrets (well, after all, it does rhyme!). Did you notice that tallpindo is copying my style? In any event, a moment of carefree existence depicted in this fine summertime shot, Marilyn!

Beautiful capture and I do see where they would remind us of vultures in wait

Gorgeous image...they remind me of aliens in a way, I think it's in their vulture-like "stoop shouldered" poses, as well as the dry land. The whole absence of water casts these beauties in a completely different light, and I love the sense of color and lighting you've captured here. Great work, as always!

Yes, full-size it's quite a shot. The prehistoric feel is probably from the 'wilderness' of the sand and weeds, etc. They do look like they're at some threshold of time...but it's also a fun shot, because all these egrets are just standing around doing their thing, utterly oblivious of you, and not too tuned into themselves either. Like, "anyone here have a clue what's going on???" The random patches of weed add to it all...An unusual shot of egrets to be sure; but they probably feel it's just a day in the life, which you captured here. A really nice shot of birds doing their thing in the sun...
