Egret (Great) #2

    Newer Older

    Enterprise City Park, AL USA

    After a long while of posing the egret decided to fly a little further away from me to the other side of the pond. I wasn't prepared....but this is what I got. I thought that you might like to see how the top feathers Luft as the wing goes into a stalled condition and the wing turns into an airbrake for landing.

      I love it when you can catch the lufting. I've gotten only a few.
