I feel very fortunate to have found this beauty . The Reddish Egret is one of the most rare and habitat restricted herons. These beauties were almost hunted to extinction in the early 1900's for their gorgeous plumage. They are now classified as near threatened.
They are amazing and comical to watch.

Your nits , comments and suggestions are most appreciated.
You caught all the clastic fishing poses Roberta and each in a great photo yet the multi species image is a wonderful composition and gives us more to look at

Thank you Joshua. I have only see a reddish 4 times in all these many years. It is always a special time for me when I see one.

Lovely set, all are well done. #2 and 3 are my favorites.
You sure caught the classic hunting sequence and what a great location you caught it in. Love it when they make that canopy with their wings. This is always one of my favorite birds when I visit Florida. Excellent work Birdie.
So nice to view these images. You are letting other elements of lines and color support and present your subject in a natural way. Relaxed and effective comps ……. You shared what you felt very nicely👍

The way #3 captures the gait reminds me of a road runner.
