This American Bittern was the star of this morning's group walk, and it was completely off my radar as a bird to look for. Chloe DaMommio spotted it first and we all got great looks at it. The bird ate 6-8 crawfish as we watched.

This is the only shot I got of the bittern with a crawfish in its mouth. I kept it despite not being very sharp.

Morus capensis

The always elusive American bittern.

Not a common breeding species in Southern Delaware, this adult Least Bittern was seen just standing around in the marsh along Prime Hook Beach Rd., Sussex County, DE, on June 29, 2014.

On 1st May we took a long awaited trip east to the RSPB Reserve at Minsmere, nr Saxmunham, Suffolk UK.

Here are just a few of the many photos taken.

This stealthy bird actually let me take his picture.

This American Bittern, at Circle B Bar Reserve, blended in so well that I almost walked by.
