From one of my trips to the Conneaut sandspit in Ohio. Originally went there for shorebirds as I do every year around that time. Only this trip out there I was fortunate to get some full frame shots of this Least Bittern. This shot was taken as I was kneeling down in a marsh with waders on and shooting between marsh grasses. Even so still, this was a difficult shot to get as clean looking as possible. Thanks for looking!

1/1000sec @ f/9, ISO 1250, 700mm (500mm f/4 + 1.4x)

Nice eye contact and lovely light. Wish there was a little bit more room on the left side of the frame.
