Yeah, their markings make them blend in. They stand perfectly still so you really have to look for them. Loading... Reply

Beautiful image. Stillness. I love the way the bittern mirrors the color and shape of the dry reeds (?). Great camouflage. Loading... Reply
Great shot. I’m amazed you even saw this little guy. He’s so well camouflaged.

Amazing photo of an American Bittern. They are so difficult to photograph.

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.

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. 🙂
