American Bittern

Here is my first bird photo in 2024, which is an American Bittern from Anahuac NWR in Texas yesterday.  Found him along the road and got some head shots out my car window.  Slowly opened my door and sat on the ground to get this shot.

1/400 @ F10, ISO 12,800, evaluative metering, -2/3 exposure compensation, 700mm (R3 + 100-500 + 1.4X), handheld, uncropped

   Wonderful image Tim! I started to go to Anahuac last weekend but ended up at Brazos instead. It was rather slow and not much water.
