Least Bittern
Ixobrychus exilis
29.2654, -94.83
Field Notes
Description:
A very secretive heron who is smaller than the American Bittern.
Habitat:
Normally the marshes, this time, a sidewalk area.
Notes:
I spent two weeks searching for this little guy. They hide better than any bird I have searched for. I got home from a long day of birding, pulled into the parking lot, and there he was, waiting for me. He was grounded by some offshore gusts I think. Flew off after he got done posing.
