    I thought I'ld share this chance capture of an American Bittern, since I haven't seen any decent pics on the net of this "don't look at me, I'm just a reed!" position. I surprised him by the side of the road while driving by. Taken last year.

    Thomas- Great illustration of how the bittern can look down in the direction of its chin. It uses this ability to maintain vigilance when "making like a reed" but also uses it when stalking fish.
