“Radar” At Sunset
Most of you know our good buddy Radar. He’s the great egret with the tracking antenna pack attached to his back. As always, Radar is head egret in charge of the marsh and keeps everybody including, the alligators, in line.
Last week as I was leaving for the evening, I saw Radar perched at the edge of the marsh enjoying his view. He was silhouetted by warm setting sunlight and as usual has a commanding appearance. 🙂

Wow, wow, wow!! That is a stunning photo :).

Always enjoy a “Radar” photo! How about that sunset tonight!?! Didn’t make it to HBSP, but got some shots here at Sunset this evening. Heard the view at HB was spectacular and my friend VB shared. Hoping you may post one later on. Hard to believe your photographs could get any better, but you and your new camera are really raising the bar! Such a pleasure to view your site. Thanks for sharing!

One of the great things about the park is not only the tremendous variety of wildlife you can see but how close much of it is to the viewer.
Thank you for looking at my photos and glad you enjoy them!

Such a beautiful shot. Great name for him. When I see Radar I think of the guy from MASH. One of my favorite shows growing up.

That’s too funny, Andrew thought the same thing. Now I will think of that character whenever I see our good buddy Radar out there in the marsh. Thanks!

Glad you liked the Radar silhouette. He sure is a character and one great thing is we always know exactly which egret (of many) is Radar. We used to have a GBH around that I could always identify by he mostly shows up in summer for some reason.
