Friendly Egret

Photo taken on the bay side of Captiva Island, Florida. This bird is very tame. I was sitting on a low lounge chair and politely asked him to turn sideways and he (she?)did. Wish I'd had a fish for him.

GREAT SHOT!! I like the perspective of the dock, it makes the bird look even taller.

Fantastic photograph of an amazing bird. I love how you framed it.

Nice shot!! Well done!

Artist Reply: Thank you! I was sitting on that dock near a fish-cleaning table and I guess the Egret is very tame because he hangs out there and isn't afraid of people.
