Tri-colored Heron Walking
J.N. 'Ding' Darling National Wildlife Refuge - Sanibel Island, Florida
March 26th, 2022
The water was very still this particular morning as I made my way down the refuge road. I came across this Tri-colored Heron wading through the shallow waters on the hunt for some breakfast fish in the early morning. The water was so still and calm and created a nice mirror reflection. I was able to get this capture of two birds, the bird itself and his identical mirror twin. Because of the time of year, he had his courting colors in full bloom.
I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
