I am sometimes asked, "what is your favorite bird to photograph in South Florida?". I would probably say it's the Snowy Egret, especially when it's in breeding colors. That Bright Red Lore in front of the eye, skirt, and if you get it right, reddish feet.
Here he is at Peaceful Waters in Wellington Florida, a popular spot for them when the water level is ideal for their hunting habits, they can be found in numbers here. Especially fun when the wind whips up that breeding skirt.
Sony a1, Sony 600 f4 @f4, 1/1500 sec. iso 1250. Manual exposure based on a green grass reading and then stopping down 1.5-2.0 stops.
