This was my first sighting ever of an American Bittern, and he couldn't have put on a better show!

Sometimes things work out when you least expect it!

Thanks for looking,
Bob

Excellent image of the Bittern Bob. I like how you chose to bring the background into focus rather than fail to separate it with DOF as Bitterns are rarely in the open.
