2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Reddish Egret, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida, United States
Reddish Egret Hunting

Species: Reddish Egret | Location: Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Titusville, Florida, United States

If you've ever watched a Reddish Egret hunt, it is quite a spectacular sight and a great photo opportunity to catch some bird action. They skip about, fluttering their wings and can be a very expressive wildlife subject. Such was the case on this day, while driving through the Black Point Wildlife Drive in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Titusville, Florida.

I am an avid nature photographer. I love capturing wildlife in it's natural habitat and never photograph captured or enclosed animals.
