Hi Blake,

Check out the long, narrow bill on your bittern and the small head. Then, compare that to the Norma's bird.

I agree with George about the upright stance characteristic. Here's a picture from a few years back of an American Bittern my wife and I encountered on a lawn at  the corner of Pinnacle Road and NH Route 10 in Lyme. In my experience, black-crowned and yellow-crowned herons "hunch." Also note the similarity in the striping.

Hi George & Norma,

That bill looks much too thick to be an American bittern, which tends to have a long, thin yellowish bill, as well as a much smaller head than either species of night heron.

I'm guessing this is a juvenile night heron, likely black-crowned, on post-nuptial migration.

What a nice adventure with the American Bittern at Goose Pond! As pointed out by David Sibley in a field guide book, this bittern resembles an immature night-heron, but differs in stance, in having unspotted wing coverts, and a boldly striped neck. Photographing a bittern on a hammock seems very possibly a unique experience. It would not be expected that anyone else has ever previously photographed this species on a hammock -- a most unusual perch for a bittern!
