Bittern Misses Dragonfly

[Jose Suro]

Hi All,

More of an anecdotal shot than anything else, and heavily cropped at that, this is the fifth shot in a sequence that started with the bird crouching and then lunging at a dragonfly, missing it and the tracking it for another try. It just shows the things you can see when you stay with a bird long enough :).

Thanks for looking.

Best,

Jose

HA, that is a very frustrated Bittern I bet... :)

I would also keep this, great moment!

I really like the timing and the colors!

This photo is good enough to keep if only for the interaction and story behind it. Very cool!

Great timing and setting. The dragonfly makes this one special.
