American Bittern in flight, Green Cay Florida. These birds are hard to locate because of their feather coloring. I was very lucky to get this shot.
American Bitterns are medium-sized herons with thick, compact bodies. They have shorter legs and thicker necks than typical herons and a slightly hunched posture. The daggerlike bill is long, straight, and sharply pointed. The wings are broad but the wingtips are somewhat pointed.
Length average 30 inches, weight average about 15 oz. , wingspan 36 inches.
