Reddish Egret

This beautiful Reddish Egret struck a beautiful pose for me.

The Reddish Egret is probably the most typical heron in the Turks and Caicos Islands. This one was seen in Flamingo Lake perched on a tree branch in the water. These birds have a pinkish base to their beaks, a a beautifully reddish neck.

Something must have caught his eye.

 

They wade in search of small fish in the shallows of the lake
