    Default Ta Da! Big Red Landing.

    Those who are familiar with the North Beach Lagoon at Fort DeSoto know this Reddish Egret as Big Red. He has a favorite feeding spot that he flies to each afternoon. The first afternoon we were there, we waited and waited, and finally I got distracted by a pair of mergansers and missed his fly-in. The next evening we waited even longer. He could be seen preening on the far side of the lagoon, and finally just 15 minutes before the sun hit the horizon, he flew to his favorite spot. This time I was ready. I grabbed a number of flight frames, but I liked this moment of touchdown best.
