Contrails

Reddish Egret (egretta rufescens) ~ Sarasota County, Florida

 

The reddish egret possesses the ability to change direction and the kind of quickness that would make your average NFL running back insecure. In this instance, the bird had spotted some movement beneath the surface and had exploded from a dead stop. The 'contrails' of water droplets chart the path.

 

Thanks for visiting!
