Wow, look at those wing patterns!! Might try to tone down the bright streak cutting across the face, but man what a great photo!! The flight master has done it again... :-)

[Gayle Clement]

Beautiful wing pattern. This is a fascinating flight shot.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great topside view, I'm not sure I have seen the plumage like this before. Thanks for sharing.

[Nancy A Elwood]

Boy Jim, I am jealous. I am happy to get these guys standing still. The topside view is very nice!!

[Bonnie Block]

Very cool, Jim! Love the colors and the pose. I also would tone down the streak across the face.

[Steve Wheeler]

First time I've seen one of these in flight. Wonderful image!

Man, this is sweet Jim, great capture!

[Lyall Bouchard]

I'm liking pretty much everything about this image, sharp right down to the toenails! I like the colorful background that compliments the markings of the bittern.

[Del Cockroft]

Tremendous capture. The patterns and wing position are just perfect. You wouldn't expect anything less from the master.
