White Morph Reddish Egret

I spotted this white morph reddish egret going wild running around trying to catch fish @ Hidden Lagoon on North Beach yesterday.

What a great shot, Kirk. Expressive bird more than normal.

Nice capture, but a little saddening.

Male or female, it's a terrific shot, Richard! The soft pale colored background is is great. It separates and makes this wren stand out so nicely.

Very nice capture of this Rufous-banded Honeyeater, Pippan!

Beautiful drake wigeon shot, fotoi! Tack sharp with great color.

Simply amazing, Kirk! This is some seriously excellent photography!

Very nice portrait shot of the Osprey, Kirk!

What a "killer shot" of the White Morph Reddish Egret, Kirk! Definitely a very appealing capture.

Splendid shot of the Gambel's Quail, Tom! Very nicely composed!

Great capture of this beautiful American Goldfinch, Jimmy!

Very cool looking shot, 4huskers! I can see that these two have not become friends yet.

Excellent capture of this Little Blue Heron taking off, Ted! Very attractive shot!

That's very kind of you to say, Mike. I greatly appreciate it.

This young Great Horned is most likely going to be gone very soon. But for now it can only fly for very short distances

Great shot! Like the bg and circular bokeh.

Gorgeous shot, K9!

Thanks a bunch, Archi! I got lucky with that one, a lot of the other shots in the sequence were out of focus. I need a new lens that tracks/focuses better and faster.
