White Morph with Wings Up

The reddish egrets have been out in full force lately at Bolivar Flats on the Texas Gulf Coast. This beauty was chasing fish around with his wings extended, as reddish egrets are known for. Always a good time to watch these birds dance around while fishing. They are very fast and a high shutter speed is highly recommended.
