Fishing...

[Joseph Przybyla]

Dot and I went to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge early this morning. I captured this image of a Reddish Egret fishing at a stop along Blackpoint Wildlife Drive. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Beautiful bird and obviously intent on the hunt! I like the water droplets falling off - gives a nice sense of motion.

Hi Joseph .... seems like he is on a mission , well captured .
Would check the apparent noise in the under wing .... well worth to get rid of it .
