Least Bittern in Flight - a photo on Flickriver

            I sometimes wonder why photographing a least bittern is so important to me.  It's probably because they're rarely seen and difficult to photograph.  Anyway, I was at John Chesnut Senior Park, Palm Harbor, Florida this morning and I saw one coming towards me.  They fly so fast and so erratically that I only got three shots that were in focus.  Well, all you need is one and I got one.  I usually get them in profile or on aquatic vegetation.  So this incoming shot was special.
