Spent a couple days in the marsh chasing birds and swatting mosquitoes. It’s not waterfowl but still fun time of the year.

Just lovely, all of them. Sure like marshes. If you haven’t already, take on the challenge of sighting a bittern in a photo. They are heard way more than seen. Thank you for sharing your day .

Bitterns are typically so shy and hard to get in the open, got lucky last year with a American Bittern that was displaying for a female and didn’t have a care in the world that I was there.
The small Least Bitterns are really difficult here, very vocal but seldom seen and almost never out in the open where they can be photographed. This Least popped out one day when I was chasing rails and I about dropped the camera in the water I was so excited.

Tray So you started my day on a high note When I signed on to Trapperman the first post that came up on my computer screen was Marsh birds by Tray . I thought why fool around When is comes to photography and birds Tray does it about as close to perfect job as i can hope for I have seen some of the birds you have pictured but I am far from being very knowledgeable about them.And here is where you come in Your dedication to getting outstanding shots of the many birds you seek to bag with a camera And what you are doing is educating those of us take the time to to learn Some outstanding shots of birds are a part of the beauty of Mother Nature that are not well known by many of us And I would be one of them uneducated but trying to learn that have benefited by checking your post and photos And the early Fri morning 6/21/24 class on bird biology and identification Your efforts are priceless

Thanks You, I appreciate the compliments.
Happy that others can get enjoyment out of my pics, my hope is just to open eyes to the cool stuff that’s around us. Even if it means fighting off hoards or mosquitos to do so. LOL

While it is not the same thing I did volunteer work for a local Pheasants Forever chapter for about 25 yeas And what gave me the most enjoyment as the chance to teach other people about hunting /trapping and doing things that gave them the chance to get the same kind of enjoyment just by spending time watching nature Another member always said "If you truly love something and o not share it and teach others about it you are a phony . I find that to be completely true From your post it is clear that you enjoy nature All kinds Not just a excellent shot of a drake wood duck or a green winged teal but all of them And you are doing your part to share it with others Congrats Keep on posting and hope many more keep looking
