You know those pictures you see of one American Bittern "hiding" by
imitating a reed in the middle of an open field? Well, one decided to do
that in our back yard Thursday morning. I suspect that it saw the newly
mown grass, and decided that the exposed insects would make a delicious
breakfast. It was hilarious....we got a great view of it moving slowly
and occasionally striking. 

 

Other species of note from our yard yesterday evening: displaying Am.
Woodcock(heard), Barred Owl(heard), Cedar Waxwing,  nesting Tree
Swallows, Hermit Thrush, Veery, nesting Bluebirds, R.E. Vireo, B.T.
Green Warbler, Ovenbird, Chestnut-sided Warbler, Yellow Warbler, C.
Yellowthroat, B. Oriole.
