Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens)
This Reddish Egret is in full concentration mode while in search of his next meal.
We made it to Siesta Keys as the sun was setting. The energy of the anticipation remained high. Tonight, only shadows. Tomorrow, Siesta Beach, blue skies, sunshine and warm weather. God is good!
Even along the beach the light can come together to help pull off a shot like this. And wow, are these cute little birds ever fast!

I love getting close to objects and making them seem bigger than they are. I watched the water fall off the side of this stone and tried to capture it the way I saw it. It took about 10 shots to get but you gotta stay patient and persistent.
On the white sands of Siesta Key Beach, FL!
Sort of a windy, gray day, temps chilly - about 62F, so the birds were a bit huddled into the wind.

A catamaran (/ˌkætəməˈræn/) (informally, a "cat") is a multi-hulled watercraft featuring two parallel hulls of equal size. It is a geometry-stabilized craft, deriving its stability from its wide beam, rather than from a ballasted keel as with a mono-hull sailboat. The two hulls combined have a smaller hydrodynamic resistance than comparable mono-hulls, requiring less propulsive power from either sails or motors. The picture shows a Formula 16 beachable catamaran. The Formula 16 (F16) sport catamaran is an ISAF recognized 5 m long beach catamaran with an asymmetric spinnaker setup. It is actively sailed in two modes: double handed with a jib (2-up), and singlehanded without a jib (1-up).
It was a good thing that i took my Leica X1 today as well as the OM-D EM 5 as the settings were off and i trashed every photo! always check your settings i guess before you shoot!
Reddish egrets are animated hunters that habitually raise their wings to cast shadows or obscure their lance-like weapon and watch the water with their head tilted horizontally on fully extended neck. It's a peculiar and characteristic posture.This juvenile has been a regular presence on busy Siesta Key Beach, foraging and resting among thousands of mostly indifferent beach-goers. A few curious folks stop to watch and wonder: the vast majority walk right past without much notice. I saw a man and young son walk past the bird; the son asked, "What's that, Dad?" The father didn't respond until I told him it was a reddish egret. He seemed amused that anyone would care or know the answer to his son's question. Needless-to-say, he didn't convey the information to his son. Sarasota, FL (13 March, 2020)
