Reddish Egret was a bird I'd never seen before making my trip to Florida, but before I even left, I knew they would be one of my favourite birds of the trip! I wasn't disappointed to see their exciting foraging behavior. I had heard and seen videos of them "dancing" while feeding, but one thing I didn't know about was their ability to run - and run fast! Every once in a while, they'd give up on raising their wings, twisting, turning, having their feathers stand up, and sprint towards their prey. Even in deep water, they could maintain impressive speeds and I wanted to try to get a shot that portrayed that ability. This (i think) is the best I was able to do!
Happy Shooting!
