Reddish Egret

One of my favorite shorebirds. Always seems like he had one cup of

coffee too many. He dances, twirls, twists and jumps when he is

fishing. A very entertaining fella.

Hi Monte,

Great shot with a great Nikkor lens !

I would not expect anything less from such an excellent optic.

Of coarse, it is up to the photographer to use the lens well and you did an outstanding job.

I quite like the foreword description of this character, it gives a great insight to the pose and agitated look of the bird.  I think you have caught the wingspan just right with an almost diagonal shape to it., and the detail includiing the droplets of water from the his feet and rippled water helps bring it all to life.

Best Regards

Alf
