Tricolor on the Hunt

Over the years Bayou Sauvage NWR has been a favorite go-to destination for waders and not far away from my home.  Unfortunately the wader population there has declined more recently, however 2013 was a very productive year.  I love the stalking behavior of the TCH.  This one was so intent on a meal that it ignored me and approached at close range, so I reframed for a portrait.  Unfortunately the boardwalk precluded a lower angle, but I liked the intense stare and square on pose.  Slight crop from top & RHS.
