Northern Cardinal, Head-on and Profile
Northern Cardinals are plentiful in our area and I see them in all sorts of environments.
Rarely do I get an un-obstructed view.

Great Egret Mated Pair
This Great Egret mated pair became aware of a neighbor getting a bit close!
Head feathers up, protective stance…
Get back!
That worked…
Ok, back to just hanging out.

Reddish Egret, At Rest
A Reddish Egret, just standing around, in the grass at the edge of a mangrove.
Reddish Egrets are known for the animated way they hunt, dashing back and forth in the water.
You can see my post Reddish Egret, End of Day Feeding to see how that looks.
I’ve seen them perched on top of mangroves, but this is the first time I’d seen one hunkered down in the marsh vegetation.
