Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge
Chambers County, Texas
This is a normal resting posture for a Least Bittern.
Taken where I now live [Sun City Lincoln Hills]. A community of 7,500 homes!! With 24 miles of nature trails and full of wildlife which I photograph on an almost daily basis.
Came across some old files from a year or two ago when the bitterns started to come to the London Wetland Centre. Sadly, I used to shoot jpeg then !

Here's a bittern, an amazing bird we had chance to meet last winter. There is only a small group of people in Poland who had ever chance to photograph this bird so I was very excited when quite unexpectedly we met him on Long Island. Obviously it was my girlfriend who saw him first, and it took me good while before I noticed this guy performing his deceptive trick. It was even more difficult for my camera. Autofocus was running back and front unable to identify the subject where it could set focal plane. I took a series of shots but this was the only one that came out sharp
Uncommon and declining; One of the most reclusive species around; Seeing an American Bittern out in the open is a rare sight. Southwest Area Park, Baltimore MD, late-March 2011;
