Monday Bittern Blogging

 

Bittern - Point Reyes  2022

At the edge of the upper Abbots Lagoon in Point Reyes. 

"Bitterns are stealth predators and typically stand motionless as they wait for prey to approach, or stalk it with barely perceptible motions. They adopt a classic pose when alarmed, with the beak pointing straight up, helping this streaky bird blend in with its reedy background. They tend to forage alone."

This one was certainly checking out the photographer. Taken with an Olympus EM1II and a 75-300mm lens.
