Tri-colored Heron

This one was taken at the Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center in Port Aransas, Texas this past spring.  I hope it's still there as the barrier islands can come and go in a hurricane of Harvey's magnitude.

I always liked th e"ninja" poses these birds assume while foraging, some of which look extremely awkward.  While I would have liked a bit of a head turn in my direction, I still liked the pose in this one.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 200 mm, hand held, f/7.1 (I probably should have stopped down and raised the iso a bit), 1/400, iso 1000, aperture priority, pattern metering.  Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped to 16.3 MP before resizing.  Taken at 9:03 am on March 25th, 2017.

Your critiques are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
