About the Image(s)

I couldn't find the original of this image, but my recollection is that it was taken at least several years before Covid, and for sure was shot at Shark Valley, part of the Florida Everglades. I haven't been there for quite a while, but from all I hear, it is but a shadow of its former glory ??“ I don't know if this is due to climate change or the arrival of predators. One other thing ??“ I'm not sure what kind of egret this is (it seemed to me that it had yellow legs). Any suggestions? D500, 70-300mm lens, set at about 1,200 fps, edited first in Camera Raw then Photoshop.
