Tricoloured heron

Egretta tricolor

Description:

Medium-sized heron with gray back, chestnut brown neck and white belly.

Habitat:

This one was darting into the waves in the ocean hunting small fish. It moved very quickly and darted around in the retreating waves. I've never seen a heron hunt like this before.
