Another of those elusive birds of the wetlands that for some reason have been almost ubiquitous lately...seems I find at least two out in the open every weekend I visit the wetlands. This one strolled out into the sun to snag a fish, right on the bank of a reed island 35 feet from me. This one...- Zackiedawg

A male least bittern, stalking above the water on the reeds to avoid alerting the fish below to its presence - the brown and white striping a perfect camouflage for a fish looking up through the water.- Zackiedawg

This American bittern was enjoying late afternoon sun as sunset approached - quite out in the open which is unusual - and not bothered at all by me, standing just 20 feet away- Zackiedawg
