Least bittern in flight. I know it is a butt shot, but It's the only least bittern in flight that I have. I have decided to make that a priority this summer when the least bitterns will be everywhere.

Great action Jessie. Amazing to see a bittern so out in the open.

I liked them all. That Harrier sure looks serious. Wish I had a longer lens so I could try my hand at some of this. I just picked up a 55-200 today, but don"t think that will be enough.

Exceptional Harrier shots. I can never find a least bittern when I go to Viera. Excellent shots.

Love the wing motion on the glossy ibis and the harrier shots are sharp!

WTG Jessie.

Thge Glossy ibis is a beautiful shot and I didn't know this bird
is quite big. The Hurrier shots are excellent considering the fact that
they fly fast.

After I saw the gator shot,I have to ask you this question.
when you photograph in wetland, how do you protect yourself
from gators? Even if you're on a dry land,if you're standing nearby the water
they can see you from under the water and they can attack you.
I'm just curious.

What a series Jessie, the variety is great. Beautiful shots, the Harrier shots are super, but you guys are killing me with these Bittern images, they're just great. And congrats on the gator with the Coot, great action shots.
