Two Bittern days at CSSP

[paul_reeves]

Here are some of my shots of the Least Bittern at CSSP. I took them on September 11th and 12th and he (or she) was very cooperative.







I took way too many photos to show them all but they are all up on my website.

great series Paul, the 3rd one is my favorite, nice detail in that one

Nice set! It is interesting to see the splash in the last one is a column of water going straight up. I captured a similar image (but at 1/40 sec, 5000 ISO, so not nearly as sharp) last week and the splash looks the same.  I can't pick it out when I see it, but looks like it must lunge straight down.

Thanks Meghan. Good luck with your "hunt".

Thanks Brian. Unfortunately I took a closer look at the full rez version of my image and it was out of focus; I was so happy that I got "he shot" that I didn't look close enough to realize I actually didn't. I hope I am not breaking any rules by changing images but I replaced it with a similar lunge shot with less splash. I think you are correct about what it is doing about going straight down.

A beautiful set of images.

Thank you Dinusaur.
