This is the "normal" reddish egret most people know. Also known as the dark morph as opposed to the white morph.
We survived Hurricane Helene. We evacuated on Wed and will return home tomorrow. Hopefully not a lot of damage to and around the house. We live about 90 miles from the big bend where Helene came to shore.
What a beauty...I've never seen one of these around here. Stunning capture! Glad to hear you survived Helene ok, hoping you dodged any damage to your property too.
Beautiful capture. Hopefully there won't be any damage when you get back. We just had a bunch of small trees limbs down and a few larger limbs that had to be cut up.
Glad you got out. Hope there is not too much damage.
