A beautiful photo of the bird's behaviour and habitat. I also like very much the background blurred colors! #643067

Hi Monica~

Thanks for the nice words. Yes, those trees were quite a distance away allowing the 300mm lens to capture a nice blended background. Also, it's nice to see a comment directed at the bird's behavior and habitat. As you know, this is the time of year that these birds stake their claim among the cattails. Very assertive/ Thanks again.
