Reddish Egret

[rajojomanik]

Taken at first light on Black Point Wildlife Drive, Merritt Island. At one point there were 3 Reddish Egrets chasing each other and jockeying for position at this one mud flat.
It was relatively dry and this was one of a few areaa that had water.

Silkypix RAW converter and Elements 10 for processing. Level adjustments, saturation and about 30% cropped.

Thank you for looking and comments are appreciated.
