Lesser Egret

Bonnie Carrie Spillway

We watched the little feller fish in the rain. I have read about there technique but had never seen it. They vibrate one of there legs to make the ripples you see hoping to make minnows move in the grass.

Nice image Breland, I'm always amazed at the way wildlife have developed techniques for hunting their pray...

Great shot Breland. The reflection is very nice and having sunlight reflected off his beak kept it from being lost in the dark BG of the old stump. The ripples really look appealing. Good commentary as well. Vote.
Seems there's a lot more wildlife in the Spillway now than when I was shooting there back in the 80s.

Pretty smart. As clever as they are beautiful. Nice reflection too.

I guess they don't have a hook, line & sinker so have to find their own way of fishing :>) A beautiful composition, Breland.

Great one, Breland and his reflection is perfect. (You'd better not tell him he's lesser.)

Very interesting capture. You can actually see him making the ripples.
