Nice shot! I don't have any Bittern photos so far, they are elusive for me. When I was at Merced shooting cranes, I saw a bittern crossing the road ahead, but by the time I stopped the car and got my camera ready, it was gone.

Liking this one a lot!! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you very much, Butts! Glad you like it.

This is a fabulous shot, Shalu. They're awkward looking on the ground, but so graceful in the air.

Thank you very much, Mike! That is so true.

The great white egret was oblivious to the kung-fu fighting between the snowy egrets.

Thank you Shalu. I completely agree with you as far as them being elusive. As you can see, this one is flying away. He represents a pretty healthy size crop. I shot him from my truck driving levee roads in the grasslands.

That is a stunning shot, Shalu. However I disagree with the kung-fu that you feel the snowy egrets are engaged in. I believe it is Shotokan karate, due to the foot and wing positions of the two egrets. I've studied this among various bird species. :-P ;-)a :lol: LOL.

Thank you very much Archibald. For me it's really tough to catch one standing in the tules. I generally get my shot after I've spooked it, and the bird is air-born.

I keep trying to get a kingfisher shot like yours...so far, unsuccessful. That's really a nice one.
