Nice! Although, not the prettiest bird.

Definitely awkward looking! Lol

Nice, nice shots! You don't often get them out from their cover.

As common as they are I was SHOCKED when I saw this one zip by. I'm not sure what he was doing but it was the first time I've seen one not in the marsh.

i was expecting a train....
although why I was expecting a train in the wildlife section is beyond me.

you totally nailed focus and DOF on these.
showed us that not every fantastic bird shot has to be a raptor!

Thanks for the kind words! I am pleased since it was challenging light to say the least. Really dreary April weather has set in.

Nice job. I have only seen 2 rails and they were not out in the open like this at all!

Thanks Kris! I feel like I learn something every time I go out.

When you stop learning new things, it's time to retire from photography.. I always keep learning out there. Its amazing how complicated the life of birds can be...

It is great to a good shot of this bird. What about cloning out the diagonal thing in the first?
