Reddish Egret |
Shortly after arriving at North Beach in Fort De Soto on Friday, we were met by a white morph Reddish Egret. As we were photographing it, a dark morph came by and began interacting with the white morph. They put on quite a display for each other, in beautiful breading plumage. I sat in awe of these birds for perhaps an hour, and here are a few of my photos from that time--I'm afraid the photos don't do justice to the beautiful sight we were able to experience that afternoon. These are the reasons why I never tire of photographing nature.
These are fabulous Scott. Reddish Egrets are among the most entertaining birds to watch. The tight portrait of the dark morph is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! These are outstanding photographs, Scott! Their breeding plumage is gorgeous and you captured it beautifully. What joy for you to be able to watch this stunning display.
