This was shot near the end of the day. The sun was making a warm glow, and in places harsh glare.
This Tricolored Heron walked right through the gold on the water, a reflection from the reeds.

We couldn’t stay too long since we were only about halfway around the marsh. Sun goes fast and being about halfway means over a mile back to the trail out.

Tricolored Heron, Magnolia Plantation rice fields.
Like that big ripple wake around the Tri.
I sometimes think that marsh water is plain thick!
