    Another image taken while up in Fort Desoto. The egrets really put on quite a show for us and we were thoroughly enjoying every minute.

    You were treated to quite a show! Was there a noticeable size difference between the two, or is it just the poses making it look that way? Love the interaction, but might crop a bit off the left.

    Really nice Judy! I've never even seen a Reddish Egret, much less photographed courtship. I'm envious!

    Great interaction and details. I'm not sure if he is just stretching to appear taller or if he really is. :)
