Reddish Egret Looking For A Meal

I saw this Reddish Egret looking for a meal as it was strolling along in the water in front of me. Usually you see them darting around with their wings raised casting a shadow for the fish to swarm to. Images taken with 300mm lens with 1.4X Teleconverter.

Even though the egret is the subject…and a good one at that… I am a sucker for the reflected colors in the water.

Excellent photos, Reed! A new bird to me, we only see Great Egrets in the warm weather.

  Thanks Belinda! We have a wide variety of Egrets & Herons here. But see even more when we go down south!
