This was taken this past spring. There is a rookery nearby that makes getting these shots child's play. I look forward to it every year as they are such beautiful birds.

Perfect pose with great early light. Are there any sticks in that marsh?

Not a one! Why do you ask?

Thanks George, Bobby, and Kirk. @K9Kirk, you should head this way next spring; be glad to show it to you.

Great shot. Very unusual to get this wing position and point of view

I'll bet they were thinking the shot was from the Stick Marsh in Florida. That was one of the places I thought of when I saw the photo.

Thanks for the offer, John. I don't get away much but where are you located; in case I can make it that way.
