Reddish Egret

This Reddish Egret was walking not far from the shore, stopping to look around, then moving on again. I was waiting to see if it would start hunting for a meal, but it kept moving slowly along. The Egret takes quite long strides as it walks giving it an almost slow motion look its slow walk.
