A #LeastBittern is taken aback by an audacious #dragonfly. The scene unfolds in a busy, yet unseen part of a #marsh.

Went back for another bite at the apple to see if I could get some shots of a least bittern in better lighting. On the left is my best attempt from yesterday. On the right was just now in the golden hour.
#LeastBittern 🪶
Least bittern in quickly fading light required high ISO and low shutter speed and I still had to fix it in editing to make it ok. Least bittern in the golden hour with moderate shutter speed and low ISO required almost no editing. I got a bunch of snaps and almost all of them turned out really good with the only issue being finding angles with the least obstructions.

A least bittern standing on some reeds at the waters edge looking like a very cute tiny heron. a mourning dove standing on some rocks like a pigeon A myrtle warbler playing peek a boo. There were a whole flock of them foraging for insects and flitting from branch to branch.

Hello all! I had a great birding day today! I got two new lifers! The Cape May Warbler and a Least Bittern!

#LeastBittern over the cattail marsh, Wisconsin 2024

🪶🪶🪶

We’re so lucky to have pieces of wetland ecosystem left to visit 💙
A very small-in-frame least bittern flies over the cattail marsh landscape, just skimming the tips of the cattails which take up about 2/3 of the foreground of the photo. The background 1/3 is distant forest which is darker green and blurred.

As the smallest heron in North America, the least bittern can be difficult to spot. They love to hide in vegetation near the water so they can fish. 🪶

This is the feather of a Least Bittern in #ThingsTooUgly. It's found on your desk inside the office. The Least Bittern bird is typically found along river banks and in marshes.

A photo of a Least Bittern bird. It's short, stocky, and has a long sharp beam. It's beige in color with rust and black accents along the wings and back. A 3D model of a bird feather, zoomed and cropped to show some of the texture. The feature is gray and worn at the edges and rusty and neat on the other side.

Sat on the ferry about to leave Shetland. An enjoyable time with a couple of lifers. Eastern-crowned Warbler, Pechora Pipit, and Little Bunting the highlights. 88 species in total. Based on past history a 1st for Britain will be found on the Islands tomorrow. #SibAcc & #LeastBittern

Not the greatest photos, but this Least Bittern has been a monkey on my back for a couple of years now. Prior attempts always ended in futility. Master's at hiding in reeds, he was a fairly good distance away. #Birds #BirdingOH #LeastBittern #Nature #Photography #HowardMarshMetroparkE
For more information on Least Bitterns, check out this link to ebird. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Least_Bittern/overview I shortened the lens length to give you an idea how difficult it is to spot these tiny herons.
