Excellent set of a good looking colourful egret on a mission Keith.
Thanks, Sylvia. Yes she was definitely on a mission, and very entertaining!

Very good shots chief!
Not sure I could hang out too long in the hot and humid.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Bill. Yeah, it's been difficult for us. Neither one of us is a Floridian and we are not accustomed to this kind of heat and humidity. We had the crazy idea that we might settle in Florida for the photo ops but this summer has changed our minds. We just got the A/C fixed in the truck so it's been easier but not a permanent solution.
My pleasure sharing my photos with people who care about photography!

Nice shooting. #2 reminds me of a sulky race horse.
Thank you, Hereford. I've been trying to think what that looked like, and you are right!

Excellent shots…another long time full time RVer here although we settled down in a house in 2020 in SW FL. Fort DeSoto over near St Pete is another good spot for reddish egrets…at least in mating season.
Thanks, Neil! We thought we might settle in Florida too. My wife says we've been in the RV long enough, we just went over sixteen years. But it won't be in Florida! This summer has convinced us we need some elevation in our lives, so we will be headed back west somewhere. Some place with mountains!
I'm glad you liked the photos.

Great work Keith. Have not seen these around my area, 40 miles south of Tampa.

Thank you, Don. The only place we have seen them is Black Point on Merritt Island. And only occasionally there. 40 miles south of Tampa, you must spend some time at Myakka River State Park. We love it there, the place to go to see Limpkins!

Thanks, Fran! I appreciate it. It's hard for me to pick a favorite, I like all of them!
