Juvi Tricolor Lurking

I was out yesterday morning at Bayou Sauvage NWR, and was please to see a lot of bird activity. There were a number of Great Egrets, White Ibis, a few Tricolors and a large number of duck and Coots. Conditions were cloudy most of the time, and this juvenile flew in and got at very close range. I had the 2X on, but the bird was tolerant enough to hang around while I switched to the 1.4X. I initally wasn't too keen about the higher angle on the bird, but the bank was just bihind the bird, so the higher angle allowed for a crop to get a bit cleaner shot. And I particularly liked the crouching pose and the reflection. Only wish that I would have been able to stop down a bit, but 1/200th is about my lower limit for this glass combination.
