American Bittern


Spent some time at Watershed Nature Center today,and saw this American Bittern. I believe that's a new one for me! It was pretty well hidden in the reeds, I almost missed it. Sorry about the back-lighting and the reeds, but sometimes you have to take what you can get!

Another shot:

Apparently, they raise their heads so that the stripes on their neck blend with the reeds.  I know I barely saw this one, wasn't sure at first it was even a bird.  Fortunately my long lens helped a lot!
