Description

Tri-color heron slowly but cautiously ventured away from the rest of the flock towards the darker area with just a few rays of the evening sun remaining. While the alligators were keeping an eye out for the heron, it managed to scoop up a snack after a good 30mins of flying up and down evading the predators. I had my camera ready to capture the last few minutes of this heron, but watching it take such a risk was inspirational.
