Egret at Elkhorn Slough

Wildlife silhouette art :)

An egret hunts at sunset, the golden light creates a great background for a profile shot of the bird.

I watched the bird's hunting technique with great interest. Have you ever seen this? It would stir up the silt with one of its claws to disturb the creatures that live in there. The egret sees it and snatches it quickly with its beak.
