Least Expected
I tried my luck this morning in getting the Least Bitterns that have been reported lately. It was very frustrating watching them fly by in the distant and hanging out in the reeds so far out and in the open. I waited patiently and was watching the reeds for any movement. I kept quiet from the other two photographers as I noticed the reeds parting. I snuck away and boom! This adult parted the reeds and looked around about 10ft in front of me. I just cropped the left and right side to make this portrait. Another lifer and lucky shot! :) Click image for enlarged view.
