Reddish Egret

This Reddish Egret photo was taken June 28, 2013 Bolsa Chica Wetlands Wildlife Reserve on a seriously overcast day. I apologize for the water and background color. I was pleased that this fellow uncharacteristically came to a channel that was close enough to get got photos of him. All of my other Reddish shots are from a distance.

Tough light, Patrick. Good work with what you had, and nice capture of classic Reddish behavior.

Well handled Patrick,
The detail is outstanding, I like the water as the BG and the color, very natural.
