Beautiful capture in very nice light. Marvelous full wingspread and you even got him to turn his head. The water droplets falling from each foot are a nice bonus. All IQ looks excellent to me.
I watched what was probably this Reddish on many mornings this April. Amazing how tame he was, as he'd often get inside my minimum focus distance so I'd just watch his antics. I certainly agree that birding was slow this year. We spent 2 weeks in Sanibel and then another 4 weeks around Fr. De Soto. Many have commented that Ding Darling has been on the decline for years, I just hope the same isn't starting to happen with Ft. De Soto.

Hi Gail,
A beautiful golden light full spread smiling Big Red capture! Sorry to hear you experienced a scarcity of birds and migrants. love the pose and the water droplets... The BG is a sweet one with the color gradations. I love it and at ISO 1000, a beautiful image.

Hi Gail, lovely incoming pose showing off the wings, good HA, sharp, and what sweet light you had here. I really like the colours of the layered BG, and a droplet off each foot takes this up a few notches.

Beautiful image! I love the light, color, and sharpness. One of my favorite birds in a neat pose, great background, well done! It was slow for me on my annual Florida trip in late Feb, Estero island, Bunche beach, and even Sanibel, were messed up with all the water coming in from lake Okeechobee :(

A "slow" week with the species you mention would make me feel like in heaven! That is simply a gorgeous Reddish Egret image. The floating pose is over the top, and the BG is so good. Congrats!

Sensational image Gail. It looks like you have the bird on strings, just incredible work. I'm not familiar with this species, is that a plume trailing from behind?
