Snowy Egret Catching a Fish
It always a good time when you see a shorebird plunge his head into the water and come up with a fish. This Snowy Egret was working his way towards me and put on a good fishing display. A high-speed camera comes in handy in this situation as you can get a series of shots of the action. Had to use negative exposure compensation to keep the whites from blowing out on this bright white bird.
