Snowy Egret Landing
Saw this Snowy Egret flying in my direction from a distance. Didn’t have time to lay down but was able to keep him in focus while I dropped to my knees in an attempt to not spook him while standing there. It must have worked as he landed right in front of me with wings outstretched. I did lay down after he landed but was only able to get one shot before he took off.
Taken with Canon 7D and 100-400 lens, handheld
1/4000 sec @ F5.6, ISO 400, spot metering, +2/3 exposure compensation, no flash

Thanks Jim. It’s a little hard to see in the small image but I also liked the water drops coming off his feet.
