Default Here You Go Chewys Dad

I couldn't get just the eye, after I was so close it became more of a game than taking photos. Here is the bill and eye, looks pretty good considering the amount of cropping involved.

Great Egret Eye

Thanks Michael, glad you liked it and there wasn't a lot of time involved and I took the weekend off anyway.

Thanks Fred, hiring the bird is a good idea, wonder if he could be trained to fly to the high conduit fittings and guide the wire through it.

Thanks Angella, this photo is of the same Great Egret I posted a few days ago. If you missed that I will tell you he was hypnotized or something as I walked close enough I touched him.

LOL, with that beak, I'm sure he'd be a lot of help!

Nicely done, Fred! Let me know your hypnotizing trick. I'd like to be able to get a shot like that! Amazing sharpness.
