Egrets in Cliff Cave Park

Finishing up my series on Cliff Cave Park, here are some egret shots. The flooding makes for great fishing, plus it is a little easier to come up close to them. A lot are there - five or six, at least. These are all hand-held shots with a Canon 300 mm lens and Digital Rebel.
