Tri-Colored Heron in Silhouette
Tricolored heron in silhouette taken with my ground pod from the mud bath at Bolivar Flats in Texas. He kept going back and forth catching small fish right in front of me, which was amazing. Don’t often see them offshore in this location.
The mud was deep so had to take a selfie to show that it was a great day in the mudflats. One of the first times that the mud was so deep that it came over the top of my ground pod. Had to wade out in the gulf to wash off the mud from my boots before throwing them into a garbage bag for clean-up when I got home. Clean-up is a major pain but well worth the effort to get low level photos.

Tim, that heron photo is exquisite. The colors and detail are beautiful. Love how I can see the silhouette of the heron, and especially the detail/movement of the feet. (Sorry, but I had to laugh at those muddy boots😝! Eeeeeyuck! Glad you are safely out of that muck!)
