One of my favorite birds to watch hunting. The Reddish Egret has a unique hunting style that at times looks like choreographed ballet mixed with a few drinks. There is a never a dull moment when they are on the prowl but I want expecting this ending! | Mark Smith Photography

The Reddish Egret is one of my favorite birds. I love its early morning shenanigans as it dances through the water looking for little fish to eat. When it raises its wings like this, it provides a shadow that helps it see the fish under the water better. | Amber Favorite Photography
