Help me out with this small wading bird
This is in Winston-Salem NC at Salem Lake.
I can't see it good enough to look up in the field guide. The closest thing it looks like, is a least bittern, but I'm not sure if that's it. http://picasaweb.google.com/ncaltrui...05560976248578 http://picasaweb.google.com/ncaltrui...05616831709538 http://picasaweb.google.com/ncaltrui...05664219101442 http://picasaweb.google.com/ncaltrui...05723269092530 Thanks!

Least Bitterns are quite secretive and usually don't perch in the open like this. Your pictures are only silhouettes, so it's hard to be certain, but the bird looks most like a Green Heron to me - a common heron that will sit out in the open like this. BTW, I'm unsure if pic 152 is the same bird as 153, 4, and 5. My comments apply to 153, 4, and 5.

Least Bitterns are rarely out in the open lik that. My first gues would be a Little Green (Green-backed) Heron, or maybe a Little Blue Heron.
eta: oops, looks like it's been answered already. |
