Reddish egrets are one of the more amusing birds to watch while they are feeding. They run back and forth in the water, zig zagging left and right as if drunk, before making a catch. They do this to confuse the fish, also using the shadows cast by their wings. They are less common than other egrets and most have this red and grey coloration, however, there is also a white morph of the species. This one was photographed at Fort Desoto Beach in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
