Great shot. I'm amazed you even saw this little guy. He's so well camouflaged.
Yeah, their markings make them blend in. They stand perfectly still so you really have to look for them.
Amazing photo of an American Bittern. They are so difficult to photograph.
That was at Malheur NWR during the Migratory Bird Festival. Lots of interesting birds to see!
Clever choice for the topic.
Thanks! The bird was trying to appear to be narrow.
I know those birds, masters of camouflage and yes, very narrow.
If it weren"t for the bent reed throwing a shadow, I doubt I would have niticed the bittern! Nice Photo. Lyn
Thanks!
Once bitte(r)n not shy at all to take more photos of bitterns
Nice play on words there!
Beautiful image. Stillness. I love the way the bittern mirrors the color and shape of the dry reeds (?). Great camouflage.
Yes, it really blended into the rushes and cattails there. It was a beautiful bird!
I always love how these bitterns seem to think that they are actually hiding! ;-D
It thought it was hiding under a Cloak of Invisibility. :)
