Mystique of the Fisherman
You thought it was the mystique of the fisherman that caught this egret's riveting attention at the beach just after sunrise? No, it was the shrimp bait of the fisherman that the egret was focused on. When the fisherman wasn't looking, the egret peeked into the fisherman's bag, then found some pieces of shrimp nearby and snatched it up with his beak. Most of the time, the fisherman seemed oblivious to the bird, as if he didn't even notice him there. But for this shot, I asked him to look up at the camera.
It is common for birds to stop by around the fishermen around sunrise in search for breakfast, and they practically "blend in" with the setting.
