Least Bitterns don't come out in the open very often, but today in the Viera Wetlands I saw several of the birds out in the open water with no cover around for several yards..............

Is Harry causing this? Is he training them to come out in the open?

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice shots Ira.

    I didn't know Harry was training Least Bitterns too. Just saw the Tricolor Heron he had dancing on the Lilly Pads for Nancy, Gale and I a while back.
