All fantastic, last one is a wall-hanger.
Thanks Mister Roboto.

Secretive, uncommon, and well camouflaged, the American Bittern can be hard to find. If you are in a marshy area and hear something that sounds similar to a frog but it's not, it may be this bird.

American Bittern, FZ70 + Nikon TC-E17ED

Please Mr. Ichiro Kitao, give me a Wildlife Zoom camera (WZ) with a 200 - 1200mm reach and able to take a TC, and with a fast lens and all the goodies to make it fast operationally.

Another terrific FZ70/tc combo image with yields superb results. They are an interesting looking bird. We have something similar here, but I have never seen one, or heard on, or was that a frog?

Wonderful shot and those eyes are so beautiful.
 
Hawk at about 75 feet above, HS50 @ 1000mm + Olympus C-180. 1 1/2 light loss, handheld, backlit subject hence high ISO in mid-afternoon. =D

The recent images being posted by BruceWD on this forum from Costa Rica, inspired me to go back and grab some more from my trip there last January and February. All with the FZ200.

All excellent Rodger but that one is my fave, the critter has a character!
 
Happy holidays to you Vickie, and thank you keeping this thread going!

Unlike the Lesser Goldfinch (much smaller) which are plentiful throughout the year, we don't get many of these American Goldfinches here. Strictly winter visitors, I think.

Lovely bird and shot. The colour harmony in this image is outstanding.

Excellent birds in flight shots, irrespective of the conditions.
 
The last is definitely better. Ha! Its and excellent shot. You r other shots show full well, the trials and tribulations of the wildlife photographer. I and I suspect many other wildlife photographers, have taken all those same first few shots you are showing here. Not once, but many times.
