Observation details

Right place, right time. Walked/swam less than 10 feet in front of me without a care in the world. I had been sitting quietly in front of a resting white morph Reddish Egret hoping it would provide some photo ops, when the rail decided to cross the lagoon. I didn't even see him until he was about 1/3 of the way across. Crazy.
