Stalking Tricolor

From a few weeks ago in Bayou Sauvage. Several of these birds were assuming this low slung fishing posture which proved to be pretty successful strategy.

Crystal clear - nice low angle and sharp detail. Can't ask for more

Very nice work Bill

Lovely colouring, detail and composition and that reflection is just great and gives the image an added dimension.

Bill,

I love how you are able to consistently find these juvie Tricolored Herons, I hope if I visit LA in the future you will be able to show me some of them! I have seen and photographed them in FL, but your shots are making me envious (in a good way).

I like the low angle, the water & reflection, the rich tones of the heron's plumage and how the neck curves into the water.

Very well done!

Outstanding image, Bill. The colors, reflection and gentle ripples in the water are really special.
