Petit Blongios / Least Bittern / Ixobrychus exilis

Merci énormément pour vos commentaires, ils sont toujours très appréciés.
Au marais du Ruisseau de feu l'attraction principale et certe la plus convoité de tous les résidents du marais et que tous veulent voir est sans aucun doute le Petit Blongios. C'est un des plus petits membres de la famille des échassiers du Québec, solitaire et très discret, c'est un maître de la disparition parmi les roseaux de quenouilles qu'ils affectionnent et utilisent pour ses déplacements. J'ai eu plusieurs belles opportunités lors de l'été 2023. Voici une photo d'un beau mâle mature qui est parvenu à pêcher avec succès cet impressionnant Poisson-castor. Le Poisson-castor habite plusieurs eaux douce et peut devenir plutôt imposant. Rarement vu ou capturé par les pêcheurs sportifs, il est un redoutable combattant. Appelé sur Wikipédia.
L'amie, amie chauve ou poisson-castor, choupique (Amia calva) est la seule espèce actuelle de l'ordre des Amiiformes (qui abondaient au Crétacé).
Elle vit aux États-Unis et au Canada. Son corps est recouvert de petites écailles minces et sa tête cuirassée de longues plaques osseuses.
Les nageoires :
nageoire dorsale étendue
nageoire caudale arrondie d'apparence symétrique mais hétérocerque et précédée d'une tache.
Le genre Amia contient aussi des espèces fossiles :
†Amia hesperia
†Amia pattersoni
†Amia robusta
†Amia scutata

Thank you very much for your comments, they are always very appreciated.
At the Ruisseau de feu Marsh the main attraction and certainly the most coveted by all residents of the marsh and that everyone wants to see is undoubtedly the Least Bittern. It is one of the smallest members of the Quebec wading bird family, solitary and very discreet, it is a master of disappearing among the cattail reeds that they love and use for their movements. I had several great opportunities during the summer of 2023. Here is a photo of a beautiful mature male who managed to successfully catch this impressive Bowfin fish. The Bowfin inhabits many fresh waters and can grow quite imposing. Rarely seen or caught by sport fishermen, it is a great fighter. Called on Wikipedia.
The bowfin (Amia calva) is a bony fish, native to North America. Common names include mudfish, mud pike, dogfish, grindle, grinnel, swamp trout, and choupique. It is regarded as a relict, being one of only two surviving species of the Halecomorphi, a group of fish that first appeared during the Early Triassic, around 250 million years ago. The bowfin is often considered a "primitive fish" because they have retained some morphological characteristics of their early ancestors. It is one of two species in the genus Amia, along with Amia ocellicauda,[4] the eyespot bowfin. The closest living relatives of bowfins are gars, with the two groups being united in the clade Holostei.The typical length of a bowfin is 50 cm (20 in);[6] females typically grow to 65–70 cm (26–28 in), males to 50–65 cm (20–26 in).[7] They can reach 109 cm (43 in) in length, and weigh 9.75 kg (21.5 lb).[8] Young of the year typically grow to 13–23 cm (5.1–9.1 in) by October.[9] Females tend to grow larger than males.
The body of the bowfin is elongated and cylindrical, with the sides and back olive to brown in color, often with vertical bars and dark reticulations or another camouflaged pattern. The dorsal fin has horizontal bars, and the caudal fin has irregular vertical bars. The underside is white or cream, and the paired fins and anal fin are bright green.
