An adult reddish egret wading and prancing. It has rufous head and neck and the body is dark gray.
Its typical ruffled appearance is part of its "dancing" before catching the meal.
Amazing! You should send it to National Geogrphic magazine! The bird is so gorgeous and the ruffle on the neck looks like a fancy scarf! Thanks for sharing. Edith Hwang, 2014-7-4
