Caught this American Bittern with my binoculars - he never came out of the reeds - Canon 60D, Canon 300 2.8 W/2X on monopod. Water levels at Green Cay are 2 feet LOW now ??

Larry, these are great. I've seen these at a distance by the lake in our SP but could never get close or open enough for a pic. Some day. Thanks for sharing.
