One-legged legstand

The one-legged legstand did not last long...a mighty wind blew up and almost blew this Egret off it's ropey perch!

lizziviggi said...: That's a beautiful shot-- the quality of the light is lovely! I dunno why so many birds enjoy standing on one leg, though... seems like far too much work to me!; December 10, 2009 at 12:50 AM

Lowell said...: @ Ciel - Thank you. You're very kind! I thought for a minute you were going to say what others have said - that I was for the birds! ;-); December 10, 2009 at 3:34 PM
Lowell said...: @ EG - Well, it's easy: You put your right foot out ... and you know the rest! ;-); December 10, 2009 at 3:42 PM
Unknown said...: Fantastic photo! You are so lucky to have all those great birds around! We also have them here, but in a much smaller number, I presume.; December 10, 2009 at 4:01 PM
