Very nice!!! The second one is great. I believe that is a reddish egret.

You're correct about #2. Thanks

Also in the Tamron thread but had to go here too. Little Blue heron.

There is a young reddish egret hanging around our local wetlands areas this month. A relatively rare sighting but he is very visible and a clown. This was at the end of the day as the light was fading...

Here are a few images of him.

Fantastic pictures Rocky!Love the Bittern shots!!

thanks, Mac! i was very fortunate to be able to spend about an hour photographing this bittern out in the open... usually they're far too shy to allow that.

Rocky the third one is particuly fine, classic Bittern pose!!

thanks, Lester! yep, that's their "i look like reeds so you can't see me!" pose... works great in dead bulrushes, but not so much in short green weeds!

one of my many shots of a GBH - this one was having lunch when i shot it from about 15 feet away... didn't seem at all concerned at being watched while it ate...
