Reddish Egret Striking

This is another from North Beach at Fort De Soto park in 2012. I get a kick out of their highly animated hunting tactics, constantly cavorting around in the shallow tide pools. There are only a few residents there, although they've been a reliable subject every time I have visited. This is one of few I've caught in this strike posture. Unfortunately I framed it way too high so cropped 1/3 off the top but kept it full width, could have used more room at the bottom.
