Bitterns are such cool birds. Glad you captured the moment.

Hard to tell based on angle, but could that be a least bittern? While it looks too big to be a least, it appears to have a bit more color than the American. I'm probably wrong, though.

I guess you were right, it isn't a bittern at all I guess...but I'll take a Greenie in flight. Thanks
