The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium-sized heron. It is a resident breeder in Central America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Gulf Coast of the United States, and Mexico. There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range. In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.
According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of reddish egrets in the United States — and most of these are in Texas. They are classified as "threatened" in Texas and receive special protection.

It was not snowing today and just a few degrees below freezing so I went out to see who was at the feeders. The brown creeper was a surprise as I rarely see them..... something about being small and well camouflaged All shot with a 6D2 and a Tamron 150-600G2

What equipment were you using, shooting from a canoe...?Thank you, Click!
A few funny moments:
Just a camera and sometimes a tripod with a gimbal head. But I don't often have a chance to use it. Usually only if it's quiet enough or if water is low enough. I took these pics handheld because it was easier to control the boat this way in strong wind. I'm thinking about a holder that can be easily mounted but haven't found anything suitable yet.What equipment were you using, shooting from a canoe...?
