Bitterns are tough to photograph. They are extremely skittish. I guess the frog menu was so tempting the bird let you get close enough for some great photographs. Excellent!

Outstanding images of the bird eating the frog. Down south fried bullfrog legs are considered a delicacy. They are awesome.

Excellent set Geoff. One rarely sees them in the open. You did a good job of taking images that show them a bit isolated from the environment.

Thanks Morris. This one was in rehab after a car hit it so it became accustomed to people and seemed to be okay with a bunch of people standing 20 feet away from it as it hunted the edges of the lake. Lucky for us and at least it had a good food supply but not sure how it will do long term.
