Reddish Egret Silhouette

Reddish egret from yesterday about 10 minutes before sunrise.  The pre-dawn colors are gorgeous, which helps to justify getting up at 3:30 a.m. Not much light so had to crank up the ISO to 12,800.  He was all puffed up when another reddish egret was in the vicinity, which made for a great silhouette. 

1/125 @ F10, ISO 12800, evaluative metering, + 2/3 exposure compensation, 700mm (R3 + 100-500 + 1.4X), Skimmer ground pod
