2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Reddish Egret, Sanibel Island, United States of America
Fishing Egret

Species: Reddish Egret | Location: Sanibel Island, United States of America

In an overcast pre-dawn light we came across this Reddish Egret fishing on the beach at low tide. These birds hold their wing up to cast a shadow which allows them to more easily see the small fish they are trying to catch. Its an amazing display to watch.

About The Photographer

A trip to South Africa in 2016 with a new DSLR awoke something deep inside me. I hope to travel more, and would love to have my photographs contribute to raised awareness of the incredible beauty of rapidly dwindling wildlife.
