Took these photos on Tuesday morning near a mangrove island in the middle of Tampa bay FL called Alafia flats. Also snapped a bunch of other birds - herons, ibis, cormorants, brown and white pelicans, egrets and more - which I will post separately. The top image is linked to my Flickr album which will take you to many more images of this stunning creature.

I went to this bird-rich location with the excellent bird photographer Arthur Morris. Here is my Flickr album collecting all the keepers I shot on a single morning this week. https://flic.kr/s/aHskwzuUVs

you go to a place called Williams Park boat ramp in Brandon FL and get onto a pontoon boat and then it's about 15-20 minute ride to the mangrove banks. Our guide hired a very good photographer with his own boat for this but any shallow-hulled boat would work. Then you put on chest waders and get into the water and try not to fall over with your camera equipment (as I did at one point).
