Thanks, Sam! These are from last March. Not much to photograph around here now so doing some catching up.

Not a good sunset tonight but there was good light to shine on this reddish egret dealing with a catch. They're not in perfect sequence, for posting purposes. I processed these pics with 'blue light off.'
I re edited these pics because I realized I had increased the exposure too much, (+25) which increased the yellowish tint from the golden hour light.
