[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I dare to post this photo that I captured the same day as my previous one of the American Bittern, in the wild at the nature park close to my home.

This is the same bird, that was surprizingly calm (he stayed at the same spot for a good 20 mins.). So much that a man extended his hand very close to the bird (it could be quite dangerous as the bird could have suddenly stabbed his hand). I was at about 6 ft from the subject(s).

Captured with my Canon75-300USM zoom lens @ 300 mm
Hand-held
JPEG High quality format
Unfortunately, I didn't keep the data on F-stop and shutter speed.

Salut Serge!
Il n'était vraiment pas nerveux ce butor.
Ah! Que j'aurais aimé être là. Bravo à toi. Très bonne photo. Un moment intense bien capté. Composition excellente.
Je trouve cela intéressant d'admirer des photos de d'autres photographes qui visitent cet lieu de prédilection qu'est le Parc Nature de l'Île Bisard.
Tu es choyé d'y demeurer si près. :-)

Great, another bittern! That guy is very lucky to still have his fingers! Good detail on the head and face, Serge!
