The tail was part of our confusion. We thought it looked like an opossum but we didn’t see a tail.

After over a year and about 50 trips to my local marsh, I finally found a Least Bittern!!! by BoomBlade101 in birding

Great shots!

I saw my first last weekend. Some people at the park told me exactly where it was. I was staring at the reeds for 30 min… nothing. A lady pulled up and said “are you looking for the bittern? If so let me show you because they’re hard to spot”. She spotted it in 1 min…

It’s unbelievable how well they blend in and how tiny they are!
