This is 1 of 4 posts of photographs I took this past week at the reservoir in Easton, CT. The first photo is my best ever of a Great Egret! I was thrilled I was able to time this shot perfectly. There were turtles in the foreground of these shots.

The first photo is my entry for the following:

Camera Critters #277

  8. Very impressive pictures of a beautiful and majestic bird ... your timing, as you said, was perfect to catch him stretching his wing. And I have to admit, my eyes were so glued on the Egret, that I would have missed the turtles if you hadn't pointed them out ... Great pictues!
