You and the garden are looking good, Carol! At my old house, "our" egret would come and peck on the back door for food! I loved it until he brought the mascovie ducks with him (and all their poop) Great pic Hester

The Reddish Egret and its stunning feeding behavior. This bird was filmed at Green Key Beach, FL. Here is a link that might be useful: Reddish Egret video

Punk, the mediums she sells is her own brand. She has a clear blend that you brush on (as I did in the water above) and then when you take your paint over the blend it makes it transparent. The white blend makes the paints move easier and will make the paint a little paler. It reminds me of Magic White that Bob Ross uses. You put it in the sky and the paint blends easily. The slow blend extends the drying time for the paint. I haven't tried all of them yet but I intend to do so soon. I like painting in acrylic but not so much on canvas because the paint was not workable but with the blends above it is almost like painting with oils. Thanks for the sweet comment. B

Well, in doing more research, I have learned that males are much larger than females, up to 20%. So, I am going to guess these are both Greats. Tsudhonimh, I followed your link but could not come to the egret comparison. Thanks for trying to help me out!
