Our Great Egret from yesterday suddenly changed his tactics. Instead of standing straight to look for fish, he suddenly started leaning his head way over to the side -- further that what you see here, but I did not get a good picture of that. Then, when he spotted his meal, he would take a sideways jab into the water, somewhat parrellel to the water's surface. The tactic proofed worthwhile. He got plenty to eat.Obviously our 4-foot bird with about 5-foot wing span, is not the bird brain I took him for. I bet his has a bunch of other fishing tricks up his sleeve.
By the way, thanks for coming back from yesterday to check this out.--steve buser

Amazing tactic very well captured!
Quite a little show!
Clever boy, who'd a thought it.
Too smart!
Whoever came up with "bird brain" didn't know what he was talking about. He ought to see your great shots of this egret!
Hope y'all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Like that odd angle you caught of his unique style of fishing.
Good follow up on the rest of the story, Steve.
This guy certainly isn't a bid brain. What an interesting manuever. Great pictures too Steve.
I just don't know how you get these fantastic pictures over and over again.
Love coming to visit.
Happy Thanksgiving...
