Really beautiful series Bozsik. Love that Bittern shot in #5!
Thank you David. Haven't seen many bitterns on the forays. This was a special day for sure.

Sure did. I missed an opportunity of getting a shot of an otter chasing into a flock of American Coots. Couldn't get the car stopped in time and the camera ready.

I have been posting a lot of these close-ups in the close-up forum, but I thought I would see if any of you would like to view these. Enjoy.
Excellent shots, I love them all. Hope to see more photos. My wife and I love pictures of birds. We have a love for hummingbirds, but appreciate photos of all birds. Thank you for posting them.

The bittern is in a very standard pose, but I liked the angle from which the shot was taken. It provides a different perspective. And yes, the American Coot is often overlooked when photographing. I find them a very cool bird to work with if the lighting provides enough info for the feather detail. They can be quite comical to watch as well.
I would venture to guess that most people pass them up because they are so dark and not very colorful, and very, very common as well as plentiful at times.
