Casmeródius álbus flatulætum.

Am I the only one juvenile enough to appreciate a fart joke?

I think he had too much to drink. Once again, amazing detail in your work.

Matt, I just got your email, this poor bird looks like it is going to blow up.

Sorry about being crude, but does that bird look giant? ... I'll quit now.

Ha, ha...I love this photo bc I love egrets. Where did you take this picture? For some reason I thought egrets could only be found on the east coast. I have a feeling I'm wrong...

@Lynne: Thanks for the kind remarks. This photo was taken just outside Portland, Oregon. I don't pretend to be a bird expert, but the books (and bird experts) tell me that egrets drift laterally, rather than longitudinally.
