Reddish Egret (Dark Morph)

[Joseph Przybyla]

Another from time spent early morning Wednsday at Ft. Desoto in Pinellas County, Florida. That morning I had two in front of me, a dark morph and a white morph. They would stand at the waters edge, facing the water watching for fish in the surf. When seeing a fish one or both would run after the fish stabbing into the water, sometimes successful sometimes not. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.
