Egret Taking Flight at Pacific Grove

Posted by MontereyJohn (Salinas, California, United States) on 12 January 2007 in Animal & Insect.

I really don't have the equipment for this type of shooting, the focus with my 100-300mm is way too soft at 200-30mm.

That said watching this egret hunt was fun. He was a bit prissy. Any waves that reached his knees caused him to run away or flutter up into the air. Some sea bird.
