Caught this tom with a bunch of hens outside of work today. He fluffed right up for a shot! This is cropped and resized for the boards.

A woodpecker from last fall. Since he didn't mind me walking right up to him, I think it's the same one that was eating out of my hand in one of my winter threads.

I was talking a walk with my new 70-300 IS and this one sort of jumped out of the reed at me. It was quite big and I just managed this shot since he caught me by surprise big time but I have no clue what kind of bird this is. Anyone?
Edit: My brother had the answer, it's a Great Bittern.
