Camera shy

We saw lots of these birds fly into the cattails at Piscataway National Park in Maryland, but they were very hard to photograph through all the obstacles.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

I know how hard birds can be to photograph through dense vegetation, but you did a great job!

Great framing by the cattails. Superb DOF. V

Very nicely found between the plants on the bank and fantastically portrayed in these not at all ordinary circumstances, well done BV

the redwing females can be assertive when they have a nest to protect, but by now must opt to play it safe...superb shot, and so engaging..

A lot of birds are shy. I would'nt trust the photographers with their large cameras when I was a tiny bird!
