Went to the mouth of the Estero river, which is only a 15 minute walk from our place. It was a pretty quiet day without much bird activity, except for one little Reddish Egret. I spent the best part of an hour watching and photographing this bird. By far this is the most animated and enjoyable bird to watch down here! I wish I had taken some video so you could see all of his antics, but you'll have to settle for my pics! This happened just as the Sun was coming up, so the ISO's were fairly high.

If you view these through the e-mail thread you don't get a chance to enlarge the image. They actually look better if you go through the blog page, www.longcreekphotography.com/blog
All for now, but we are going back to Harn's Marsh today so hopefully there will be more!!! Thanks for looking!
