This is the first time I have ever seen this bird. Thank you Regina, Brenda, and a nice Anonymous guest for what this bird is, if not one of these please let me know. Thanks Photo by Sharon Lee, copyright 2009
yep, the lens really helps...congrats on capturing the Great White Egret in flight, not easy :)
Artist Reply: Hi Brenda, thanks so much for clarifying what kind of bird this is. Yes, I was thrilled to finally get this close, from as far away as I was.
Artist Reply: Hi Emily, thanks so much, I was thrilled to get this shot, because I have never captured a bird like this on camera. I took this shot from 300MM away.
Artist Reply: Hi Warren, thank you so much, I took this with my 300mm zoom lens, and I was across the field. At the time I didn't even know if I got anything.

Sharon, it's a beautiful capture, but I think it's a crane, not an ibis. The straight beak and dark legs resemble a crane's.Warren Ballard 19 Apr 2009
