Imagine my surprise--a swimming bittern! I'd never seen one swim before. I included a pic of its green fingered feet. It was on a near bank and swam across the canal--15 ft or so. I seen them fly across but never before swim across.

Wow, good job here. This is behavior I have never seen, well captured!

Would not think they would be very fast swimmers without webbed feet.
