My Least Bittern photo will be the month of April in the Nature Photography Calendar for 2017.
There were over 180 photographers that entered and over 1900 photos submitted. I know I submitted around 30 myself :-)
I am so honored to be among such great photographers and to also have one of my cottontail photos as an honorable mention.
