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.
Life is good.

You framed this well-with the layers of surf in the background.
Thanks Julie!
Great capture Mia!
Thanks very much Steve!
Great photo Mia! Reddish Egret hunting is always so entertaining to watch.
Thanks Tammy! They are very entertaining.
I love the pose, particularly the way he has his feathers. I never get tired of seeing white morph Reddish Egrets. Wonderful birds.
Thanks Scott, I never tired of photographing white morphs either!
