well, he's a Snipe and I did name him Wesley. Shot at Viera while with Harry B. Somewhat backlit so the colors are muted:

also got a peek at a lesser bittern, but a lot of grass between us:

finally, a Glossy Ibis posing and saying "cheese" for the camera:

    Nice work Harris. Those damn bitterns have to be one of the most aggravaing subjects around. I see them all the time but they stay in the shadows and are usually have some concealment in front of them.

    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!"

    Thanks all. It was pretty cold so most shooting was done from the car seat.

    Harry, I thought that was a green heron at first. Didnt realize it was a least bittern till I downloaded..
