Elusive for sure. Yesterday I had two different people tell me there were 6 of them in one small area of the refuge. Never did find them.

Very interesting bird for sure. Perhaps I like them so much because I'm acquiring the same pear shaped body. :lol:

Nice shot of the Bittern in an environment that helps in the presentation.

Thanks Gary - Interesting looking bird and really amazing when trying to attract a mate.

Thanks, I've caught two different ones this year. Now I'm constantly on the look out for them. Such an unusual shape to them.

I'd worry more if you start sharing a neck :)

Nice capture, there!
