Egret Bloopers (turns out it wasn't a heron after all)

[Fotografer]

I found out this was a snowy egret.</p>

<p>Here are two of the shots I took that had me howling in pain because they were out of focus or clipped or whatever. Grrr...</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just figured I'd share to further support the mightiness of anyone who can rip off a shot of a bird and show how I fail to stack up against them. <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="smile" smilieid="105" class="inlineimg" /></p>
