Reddish Egret: Black Point Wildlife Drive, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida, January 2025 — Being basically housebound while I heal from my pacemaker implant, I have been sharing a lot of back deck birds…our regular year round visitors here in November. Today I will drop back to last January for this shot of a dancing Reddish Egret from my trip to Titusville for the Space Coast Birding Festival. I will be there again this year (all things going as planned) to teach a few workshops on Point & Shoot Nature Photography. I love the way Reddish Egrets dance as they hunt. This shot also captures the intricate ripple pattern the wind has created in the water. Sony a6700. Tamron 50-400 at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds and wildlife in action modifications.
