The rising water level is driving terrestrial prey to higher ground and a flock of Cattle Egrets is taking advantage of the easy pickings (more photos to come). I welcome suggestions for cropping this photo: ordinarily I don't crop skinnier than 2:3 proportions but I will if the photo news it. What say you? Crop more from the top? http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/ardeidae/L1730331.jpg technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R, shoulder stock.
