A Reddish Egret With a Funky Beak

Several shorebirds gathered...hoping for some handouts from a fisherman who was cleaning his catch.

But, this guy was a true fisherman. His scraps went right into the garbage can, not into the mouths of the birds.

The local blue heron was terrorizing the waiting birds, so this reddish egret jumped on top of an information stand. It gave me the opportunity to shoot upwards, trying to get his eye in focus.

All the birds went away disappointed.

A small Flickr set (8 pictures) can be seen at my link.
