American Bittern IMG_2008
Dixon Meadow Preserve, Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania
Like Gollum (in The Lord of The Rings) a very "sneaky" bird.
Some viewers may note (if you compare this image with images IMG 2005, IMG 2036 and IMG 1987) that in those images I removed the light brown blade of aquatic grass that stretches across the lower third of the image. For this portrait shot, I left the blade of grass in the image.
