This is a fast, no plan, photograph. The other 6 would prove it, they were horrid.
I have not even catching many in flight lately, felt deprived so here is the best of the lot.

Reddish Egret, Dancing For Dinner
This was taken towards sun down where light was fading and the water took on the ‘crinkle’ effect. Which of course is when the Reddish like to hunt.
I’ll take (almost) any time/light to see a Reddish Egret do the dance.
A Show Off
A Reddish Egret ‘struts his stuff’ past some other ‘star attractions’.
In any group a White Pelican or Wood Stork would get all the attention.
But the Reddish Egret is a Rock Star…so they strut.
Ninja Night Heron
One of those ‘You can’t make this stuff up’ moments.
The poor Yellow-crowned Night Heron was completely surprised to find a Snowy Egret coming to steal some little worm ‘thingie’. Scared him half to death, and he jumped straight up.
It started with him digging in the exposed vegetation.
Caught a mouthful of something and at the same time an Egret ran over. Above was his reaction.
The Night Heron spun around on one foot and ran like a track star.
A moment later he stood around trying to act like nothing happened.
Like I said…
You can’t make this stuff up.
Tricky, Tricky, Light
Bright sun in an open marsh, and of course these guys stepped under tall thick grasses.
I liked everything about the opportunity but hard to shoot and get anything. I’m going to try a few things but I don’t hold much hope.
So, best I got !
Above The Crowd, Snowy
A Mangrove swamp below was filled with Egrets all pushing and shoving.
This one went top side to get away from the fray.
Fishing Buddies, Egret And Ibis
Lazy work on my part.
They kept wandering in front of me.
I guess it was their turn to do the work.
Pair Of Snowy Egrets
Sitting pretty. Pair of Snowy’s.
Yellow slippers on full display.
