American Bittern

Las Gallinas Wildlife Ponds, San Rafael, CA

I'd only ever seen two other bitterns in all my years of photography and bird watching.
This one was rummaging through the reeds and was out in the open enough to get some nice shots.

1/1250s f/6.3 at 300.0mm iso400 full exif

Wonderful! They are so elusive! It's always a blessing to get to see one, let alone get a fine image like this!

Love how he is looking out amongst the reeds. Fabulous composition and light.
