How far were you from the bird and did you use on-board or external flash?

Thank you Jim,

I was about 40 feet from the egret and used my SB800 external flash.

Thank you Whvick,

The next to the last is super from the first thread. I remember seeing the POD posted and forget who took it. It is an incredible moment.
