Thanks Steen, Jonathon and Otumay for the kind remarks.
Steen, during my visitation to Florida to see a great friend he lend me his D3X to try out and I came away with very high quality files. It is an Egret.
Jonathon, I was very lucky to get this shot. The day before my shooting session, I saw an image from one of my friend where the bird was standing on the alligator back. I though I would attempt to shoot one where the egret would fly over the alligator and with the reflection to cup the alligator. So that morning I waited until the moment to arrive and luckily the camera did what it was supposed to do and the rest you saw.
Here are a few more images from the D3X file. The last image was heavily croped because the bird was flying at a very high speed and my lens was not long enough by the time I was able to track it in focus. This little bird is the fastest one I encountered that day.
Best Regards,
Son
