p.1 #1 · Reddish Egrets from Aug 6th


Got some decent shots from early this morning while Les, Monte and I were out shooting. The reddish was across the way from us and acting like an ADD patient off his meds. These birds have the most personality and energy of any birds I have ever seen. They run all over the place, rapidly changing direction for some other shiny object they catch a glimpse of in the water. I could just stand there and watch them for hours on end.

#1 Run! Run! Run!






#2 Screech! Splash! Stops on a dime and down goes the head after something tasty:






#3 Here's a couple of three shots in a series of the bird sprinting around following something:






#4






#5






#6







#7 Here he is doing his best Batman pose he's so famous for. wings spread WIDE:

Great series Doug,

I'm probably driving down this weekend to try for some more of him/her.

# 1 is my top pick here.

Interesting and entertaining behavior It appears as perhaps the first he is using his wings to block the sun's reflection on the water to see below the surface? That would be fun to witness, good for you!

glad you were able to witness the reddish this year Doug. Two of them have been around for about 3-4 years now. I haven't seen it in person since a year or so ago. Hope I will run into them this weekend.
