Tricolored Heron in the wavesTricolored Heron in the waves – Nikon D200, handheld, f7.1, 1/640, ISO 200, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 250mm, natural light

Just a simple Tricolored Heron image this morning that I created at Fort De Soto County Park in March of 2009. It was a great day for wading birds and I went home with quite a few images of this Tricolored Heron and a Reddish Egret that I was very happy with. Both birds completely ignored me as I laid flat on my belly in the sand and water because they were more interested in foraging for prey.

Life is good.
