A Challenger

[K9Kirk]

These Reddish Egrets are non breeding adult dark morphs. I spotted them at Ft. De Soto yesterday. Some of the shots could've been sharper. Hopefully, future shots will be now that I have my tripod.

1 I love the feathers on their necks, they're long like a horses mane.

Very nice set! Too bad about the feet in #2 and #3. Nice comp, lighting, and colors!

Thanks, Jeff. Yeah, that other bird rushed in and I jerked the camera up in an attempt to focus on it but was unsuccessful and chopped off the other birds feet in the process. 😜 Here's the bird just seconds before the other rushed in from behind.

Thank you kindly. Wow, your first word in Chinese, I'm impressed.... say something else. 🏆

Nice set showing behavior. I never even knew that morph existed.

Thanks, Pete. Glad you got to see them behaving that way and learning a little more about them.

No I'm not. It's a very complimentary comment actually.

The Chinese was not a nasty sweary thing. It was a compliment.
