Another Bittern, or the Same One?
Craig's excellent shot of the Bittern prompted me to get off my duff and get up to Ridgefield today. I wasn't expecting to come away with anything, but I happened upon a very photogenic Bittern...This shot kinda caught me...

Canon 5DIII, 500MM, 1/640sec, f/5.0, ISO 400.

That's a great shot David! I love the light, detail and background. Nice pose too!

Great pose David, I love this comp and head turn. Great capture of his coloration and how well exposed out and away from the typical grasses they usually frequent.

Sweet image, David. I like the pose and the over the shoulder look.

Good job david, the exposure looks great and well done getting him out in the open.

Whoa, terrific shot! Great pose; nice to see the other side of the bird and have it out in the open like this. What a treat-- very accommodating bird! Makes me want to pack up and come down!
