Many wildlife photographers know the drama and dancing of both the Tricolored Heron and Snowy Egret.
This is the real master of dance the others imitate. The Reddish Egret.
Their entire life is spent on the beaches along the southern coasts of Florida, Louisiana, and Texas. Never inland, on a rare occasion the beaches / barrier islands of South Carolina and Georgia.
Always enjoy seeing their water dance when we are in Texas – this one looks to be zeroing in on a tasty morsel.
