Great Egret in Flight!

I have to say thousands of these things were flying all around on the Tennessee River, which must be some sort of major migration pathway. Managed to get one decent flying photo, and of course one where it flies AWAY from me. The lighting isn't perfect but let's just pretend that I was going after a backlit flying bird photo, so you can see the light through the wings (which is why I like the white birds).

I have tons of blurry attempts as well that have been dumped into my recycle bin.
