Stumbled upon this guy the other day. I had no idea what it was and thought it was funny how he always looked up. Only managed a couple of photos before he flew off. Hopefully I'll see him again.

WallaceRiver " ...a bit of a pervy voyeur "  More info | Good catch, Travis, they tend to be very secretive. They look up like that when anything is too close to them, they think it makes them blend in with the reeds IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :

I think this behavior is pretty hilarious...but they do sort of look like a reed haha Michael

Lovely shot Travis and yes that is exactly what this bird was doing. The bittern is a master stealth hunter and will actually sway in synch with the reeds in order to blend in while it is searching for prey. They are a very dificult bird to spot in the field. Below is one of the only shots I have of one and I would have never spotted it if it were not for a group of bird watchers who were kind enough to point him out to me.  Sony RX10 M4
