I will dance for food.

Reddish egret dances in a circle to scare the bate fish into the center. Then strikes for a tasty meal.

Well caught, they're very fun guys to watch.

Very nice series. Just a recommendation on the first image (my favorite), you should almost always try to give long legged wading birds enough room under the water (in the foreground) for their "imaginary" legs to touch the bottom. Otherwise it subliminally looks like you have amputated their legs. The other images are great also, but I would just try to extend the foreground a little bit on the first one. It deserves it .

Great shots!

Thank you.

wonderful image quality. i like the last three especially, compositionally speaking. (is that a word?lol )

I just learned something new while reading through this post! Great shots, story and advise too!

Thanks for the nice comment.

Spectacular captures! I have yet to see these birds, I may have to run down south just for the opportunity. Inspiring work.

Thanks, the Reddish Egret and the Tricolored Heron dancing for food is well worth the trip

Great series! What an animated bird that must have been fun to watch.

I loved watching his techniques. I now want to try it

Fantastic series!!!!!!!!!
