Sibly's Guide to Bird Life and Behavior describes it as "the most active foraging technique of any ardeid, literally chasing small fish through shallow water." It is a hoot to watch!
Hello down there-
I can stand real tall!
(Now you should imagine the bird madly running about-)
Check out these wings... I am a big scary guy!
The photos are mine, and in no way compare to the quality of those taken by my good friends who are serious bird photographers! I am just not "camera-ed up " for those type of shots. I do your basic botany shots, and just can't resist the urge to document something exciting if it is in close range.
If you would like to see a video of another Reddish Egret in action, just follow this link to you-tube and enjoy.
Stay warm! Weedpicker
I love love to watch the Reddish Egret..it just cracks me up!
