Maybe not all closely related but they share a habitat. These are the last of the water birds from my last visit to Black Point. These were all morning shots with a very blue sky reflected in the water. D850 200-500 with 1.4 TC.
Most are significant crops.

I'm not sure who Mystery Bird is. I need to get out my guides.

Thank you, Jim. If it's not flowers, it's birds.

Thank you, Karin!

Thank you, Will. It is hard to beat the Snowy Egret for showmanship!

Thank you, Linda. Yellowlegs crossed my mind but I was too lazy to look them up and I didn't see his legs. I feel sure you have the correct identity.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed my feathered friends.
