I returned several days in a row to photograph this juvenile Yellow bittern fallen from the nest. This was my favorite image from the October 2021 session.

Favorites from 2023
While my photography plans for 2023 were interrupted by Typhoon Mawar, I still managed to capture ten images I am happy with. Thank you for taking a look.
2023 honorable mentions
I usually publish a “best of the year” post in December. Not all of my favorites can be included. This bittern is the first of my 2023 honorable mentions.
Striped sweat bee
My sister in-law's garden in Jefferson, Ohio provided a few interesting opportunities with the macro lens. I saw quite a few of these striped sweat bees.
Climbing to safety
This Yellow bittern, apparently not yet able to fly, was trying to scramble up the museum fence to the top of a tree. I saw three others in the same area.
Sunrise hermit crab
I had an early morning walk along the beach at Asan, finding this little guy (and many of his companions) just as the best light of the morning arrived.
Injured Yellow bittern
This juvenile Yellow bittern had apparently fallen from the nest. He limped around in front of my telephoto lens a while before finding a place to hide.
