The various Herons, Egrets and Bitterns can be beautiful, graceful creatures. And some are not. They can be positively goofy. The Reddish Egret's method of hunting is not a patient wait, nor a slow-motion stalk; Reddish Egrets run, picking up speed, then spread their wings and prance and leap around in the shallows, scattering fish helter-skelter, then suddenly stop, umbrella their wings and stab at the shelter seeking fish. This one is a little aberrant with a few white wing feathers. And one goofy bird.

Love that last shot. It's quite the dance move.
ReplyDeleteI like the crazy head-on shot. When I first saw it I thought it was one of my selfies.
