Eye of the Snowy Egret - a photo on Flickriver

            This is an image of a snowy egret in its breeding colors. I took this at Harts Landing bait shop. As I was photographing the other birds walking around the tanks and waiting on a handout, I noticed this bird on the roof of the bait shop. It was also waiting on a handout but I guess it had a better view from up there.  I thought the blue sky as a background would really set off the white bird. The bird was about 6-10 feet away from me as I shot up from my tripod. I used my 70-300mm zoom lens to isolate the eye. No crop on this photo, just zoomed in with the lens.
I hope that ya'll like it!
