American Bittern....6O3A9291CR2A

American Bittern near the Dupont Nature Center, Mispillion Harbor, Delaware.

When I drove past, this unusual-looking piece of wood caught my eye. After quick consideration I did a U-turn and went back to see what it was. The Bittern had come out a bit more and presented itself for photographs, in its typical posture imitating its environment. And then it slowly moved away.
