This fellow had a more muted color palette than other Reddish Egrets I’ve seen.

He did, however, have the Reddish Egret moves, dashing back and forth.

Wait for it, wings up to change the lighting…

splash, and

success!

Onward -you’ve got to do a lot of fishing when your catch is that small.

They certainly are animated 😊. Very nice, Ellen!
Kind of reminds me of a squirrel, dashing this way and that way for no obvious reason! Thanks, Belinda!
Would make a fabulous cartoon character!
LOL, you are right!
