Subject: [Leica] IMG: Great Egret again

It's cold (by California standards) and foggy today and the Great Egret I 
photographed a few weeks ago

http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/ardeidae/greg02.jpg

was patiently waiting for me this morning.  Because of the cold he has 
buried his head under the plumes of his back; his neck is visible folded on 
the right, and his right wing (also folded) on the left.

technical stuff: R8/DMR @ ISO 400, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt-R, UET-R extension 
tube, shoulder stock & monopod.  1/125 sec @ f/6.8

All comments welcome.
