Love everything about this. Great wing position and action. He seems to be happy with himself with the neck hairs standing on end and the announcement of his presence.

Wonderful action, Jerry, and the angle you took this at accents it. Good strong graphic elements. Somebody in the advertising world would love this.

Oh man, it's an attack Egret. What a great "pose", Jerry, love the fluffed up feathers, the extended wings and legs and the wide open beak.
