Catch me if you can

It was great to catch sight of this American Bittern at Brig. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology describes this bird perfectly:
"You'll need sharp eyes to catch sight of an American Bittern. This streaky, brown and buff heron can materialize among the reeds, and disappear as quickly, especially when striking a concealment pose with neck stretched and bill pointed skyward. These stealthy carnivores stand motionless amid tall marsh vegetation, or patiently stalk fish, frogs, and insects. They are at their most noticeable in spring, when the marshes resound with their odd booming calls that sounds like the gulps of a thirsty giant."


The 3 Amigos had a fascinating day today, visiting an Industrial Museum.  Wait til you see them bonding with the Steampunk set.  Please stop by to see the incredible pics, thanks to my friend jankerman.
