He looks like a real bruiser!Our local juvenile Reddish Egret has shown up for the season and its been amusing to follow the fishing antics. Yesterday, it decided after fishing for a bit to just plop down on the vegetation about 20-25' from me for a little preening session. I'm always amused by the careful head scratching that occurs.

Beautiful shot Alan! This is what I have been waiting to see from the 90D.
Thanks! I'm using PhotoNinja for processing .dng files generated from .cr3 files by Adobe Camera Raw as Ninja cleans up noise so remarkably well (DxO PL is not yet compatible). But, DPP is working pretty well, much better than I recall than in the past.
Their population is rather low and they migrate usually in October to November heading south.
These birds were in a rush, resting for about 15 minutes and gone. I couldn't get a good peak and just a few snaps.
Yes, I know that was a challenging request!
But at least it's interesting to ponder that global warming may indeed give me the opportunity on day.

! "Yes, I know that was a challenging request! " - you are a minimalist obviously (and yes! - I understand your humor!)!
Congratulations! "It is always nice to photograph a new bird ..." - tell me about this
! Sometimes I'm posting photos that are not to much in line - just because I'm so proud of my new catch
On other hand it is always interesting to see new bird - at least for me...It’s one of our two major goals; recording a new bird or getting a better photo of an older catch. Cuckoos are interesting birds. Well done.
