This all took place mid-day in bright sun, a photographic challenge to capture a white bird and still show the detail in the wings with no burn-out of overexposure. So I used a compensation of minus 2 2/3 to retail the detail in the wings. Most photos shot at f/10, 1/2500, ISO 200 and a 300mm lens with Canon 1D Mark II body.

Amazing shots.
Very cool series of shots! They seem to have picked up a few tricks from their Reddish Egret friends.
Very nice pictures. It's like watching egret ballet - they look so graceful!
I've seen this behavior at Viera Wetlands in Melbourne in places where the water is too deep to wade. They didn't seem to drag their feet too much, but the "flaps and gear" down posture was the same.
You've captured those impossibly elegant lines that I've admired from the first time I watched egrets at the Ding.
Gorgeous.
