Captured this Cattle Egret this afternoon at Village Creek Drying Beds in NE Fort Worth. They are actually old sewage sludge ponds that are no longer used by the city and are open to bird enthusiasts.
The Egret was struggling to keep in cool in the 101 degree temp at 4 p.m Saturday, July 11th.

4 p.m. in that kind of heat is a tough time for bird photography. Your subject looks none to happy.

Yes your subject seems to be suffering along with the rest of us when it gets this hot. Nice shot Daniel.
