Reddish Egret in the tide pool. I think I may have stumbled upon a "training pool". With twenty or more birds lined up on each side, running and flying back and forth while fishing. It looked like a large group sporting event.

What a beautiful bird that one is. I love the colorings on it. That water and the reflections are outstanding, too. Excellent, Elizabeth.

Thanks for showing Egrets in exotic colors. Neat how the fence rails are reflecting amid the ripples.

This Egret looks well turned out with it's distinct plumage, they remind me of old gents in smoking jackets for some reason. (o:

Great camera work thanks for sharing.

I love the reflections in the water. I think this one is warming up for the high jump. I don't know how you tell a egret from a heron. This is a beautiful capture Elizabeth.

This is another great shot the only bad comment i would make is the head, that is the top of the head, seems to lose it's detail with the flat water surface.
But still great photo.

This one does best in full-size, where one can appreciate the detail of the heron itself.
I wonder if your "training pool" is Heron Kids Camp or is it for Grownups to let their feathers down, so to speak. Fun catch!

A beautiful background but a tough one to highlight the Egret with.Still, it works pretty darn well.
