Finding Bitterns is a reward Mike

Then again getting a Rail out in the open is also a reward, great shooting my friend! Nice that the Wrens make themselves heard

I'm curious why you took the first few at f8 Mike. The last two are my faverate.

I was using the built-in TC on the lens which defaults to f8. I think that I may stop routinely using the extender which will allow 6.3, so better bokeh. thanks for the question (and reminder)!

Great shots, I used to live in Olympia and Nisqually was one of my favorite spots to visit! I still miss WA.
