Description
This is my 2nd posted image of this bird. I am still not sure of the species but it is either a heron or an egret.
My thanks to those who took the time to offer feedback on my last image. It is appreciated.
I got lucky because as I was focusing on the bird for this shot, it ruffled its feathers for a second or so and I caught the action. I had not seen this before. It certainly changed the birds appearance, lol.
It spent a couple of hours just flying from place to place on my pond and feeding on fish - mostly minnows and young bream. The continued drought in my area has reduced my pond to almost a puddle. It is 6' below what it should be and that makes the fish easy picking for water birds.
C&C welcome.

Wonderful shot. I love watching birds bathe. They have so much joy in it. :-) I wondered if the pond was holding up this year. Sounds like it's struggling...

More sure now this is an immature Little Blue Heron with this pic. Fine shot and reflections.

Very nice picture. I like the ruffled feathers and reflection in the water. I also enjoy the more natural background but would like to see another with the water turned just a bit more blue. Very nice shot.
