We had another nesting pair of Least Bitterns out at the water ranch this year. I was too late getting to the nest to photograph it, but while I was shooting Snowies, I found out they have taken flight as this one gave me a quick fly by. I only had a few seconds to grab some images, so couldn't stop down anymore to get the feet in focus too.
