Egretta rufescens
An unusual white morph right next to a crazy looking "normal" reddish egret.
Thanks...SAnibel is a wonderful birding spot...this was taken at Ft. desoto, another birding hotspot.
Wonderful shot. I was in Sanibel March 2010, hope to visit again next winter
Nice
Thanks, I didn't pick up on the species at first.....until my friend pointed out the bill. You can see it's just like the other bird in the pic.
Very Pretty!
You're right Ashish, it was on a mud flat and they were definitely hunting.Thanks for the comments.
Yes Mitch its fantastic. I can see expressions on birds faces.This should be marsh area where muddy surface bares during low tide. These birds gathered to hunt mud fishes.
Fantastic shot!
