A reddish egret caught in a midair dance as it searches for fish.
A black-necked stilt forages for a tidbit to eat on a quiet morning. I was hoping to get better photos of stilts this year as I was able to get a few shots in years past but nothing I was particularly fond of. This year there were many more opportunities and this one got particularly close to me. I am pretty sure there were a couple of nests nearby as a group of four stayed consistently near a particular island, but I was unable to access the island to get any closer. It is awesome when you get one out of the water and see just how long their legs really are. I absolutely love their red eyes!
