I finally made the migration to my new iMac from my PC. Lightroom is up, catalog is transferred and some new images have been downloaded! Took these a couple weeks ago at Bombay Hook. Really lousy day weather wise, but was pleasantly surprised to find 2 Bitterns along the reeds. Their camo is amazing! Another fascinating trait is the way they'll raise their head/bill in order to use their eyes with more binocular vision, I think. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Nice job, Chris. Really shows off the odd orientation of their eyes here.
