Tri-Colored Heron

For the past few days a tri-colored heron has made Bolsa Chica its rest

stop. As you know these guys are not indigenous to California, so this

must be a very special guest to us. I was fortunate to take a few shots.

Beautiful composition, very nice lighting

Really nice wing position and crop. I think this is probably the most graceful flyer of all the herons and egrets I've seen.

Whoo hoo! You got him in the air! Nice shot, guess it paid to hang around a bit longer.
