Texas shore birds

Little Blue Heron
We
stopped and watched this little blue heron stalk small fish in a shallow estuary.
Reddish
egret
This
is a reddish egret. I has a different fishing method than other herons. The reddish
egret feeds in shallow estuaries by spreading its wings and spooking fish. Then
with those wings spread it chases after schools of fleeing fish. It is a real
hoot to watch them in action.
Reddish egret
That
reddish egret is moving along with flapping wings in search of a fish that wants
to flee.
Reddish egret
One
last picture of that reddish egret. The colors on this bird are so brilliant when
the sun strikes them just right.
Black
neck stilts
These
are black neck stilts. The coloring is so vivid that they look like expensive
toys.
Yellow legs
This
is a yellow legs although I am not sure if it is a greater or lesser yellow legs.
