Reddish Egret Hunting

Just a quick post today of a white morph Reddish Egret hunting. I came across this file the other day while going through some of my older images.

White morph Reddish Egret hunting – Nikon D200, handheld, f8, 1/500, ISO 200, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 400mm, natural light

While I lived in Florida I simply adored being able to photograph Reddish Egrets, they can be graceful or goofy looking, they twirl, dash and dance. This bird; in nonbreeding plumage, was hunting along the shore of the Gulf of Mexico and gave me quite a show.

You framed this well-with the layers of surf in the background.

I love the pose, particularly the way he has his feathers. I never get tired of seeing white morph Reddish Egrets. Wonderful birds.
