Hi Klausk - no I didn't. I shot him /her against black water in auto ISO and worked on the detail in post.
thanks for the feedback papajoe
I can't think of another bird than perhaps a Peacock who loves to pose for a camera more than than an Egrit.
Thanks for the welcome Nehall. Curiousity got the better of me however I 'm sure I'll feel comfortable here and enjoy the photos and comments.
Thanks for the reply John. I've never seen one before so I wouldn't know.

Here was a black crowned night heron with a strange pose.
Nice shot. I'm impressed with your depth of field capture.
An Egrit I shot in Florida a couple of weeks ago.
I agree. I prefer the second.
