I have only seem this bird twice in my life time. Really hard to spot and very shy. JIMBO

Really nice shots!

Frogfish · 04-02-2011, 10:20 PM

Excellent shots Jimbo !

Funnily enough someone else said the same thing of his shots of an American Bittern (on another forum) just this week. Wonder if it's the same one

Such a poser !

Jim, it looks like a good size bird, resembles a heron, lucky capture on your part. thanks for sharing Bob

OrenMc · 04-03-2011, 04:05 AM

Great captures Jim. That bird is so shy you don't see too many pictures of them. Thanks for sharing these great shots.

They are really hard to spot. I thought at first it was a stick. These little guys are very shy and I have been lucky to photo them twice. JIM

Thanks Bob. As much as I love my landscape shots, I really like doing bird shots. Just don't have the lenses to properly get into it. JIM

Well done Jimbo, tough to even spot a well camouflaged bird like that, let alone get great shots!
