Tri-colored heron providing another photographic opportunity.
This heron could fly above the water and capture fish with its head backwards or to the side and swallow them in the air - acrobatic.
I'm in the process of posting some other photos from this series to the comments.
All birds of a species do nothing have the same appearance. Some are particularly handsome. I liked this Tricolored Heron enough to take a portrait.

Nesting season at St Andrews State Park - Panama City Beach, Florida
The tricolored heron (Egretta tricolor), formerly known in North America as the Louisiana heron, is a small heron. It is a resident breeder from the Gulf states of the United States and northern Mexico south through Central America and the Caribbean to central Brazil and Peru. There is some post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range.
Tricolored heron's breeding habitat is sub-tropical swamps. It nests in colonies, often with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. In each clutch, 3–7 eggs are typically laid.
