Botaurus lentiginosus

American Bittern at Harns Marsh Preserve
Lehigh Acres, Florida USA

Anyone who was in the southern peninsula of Florida at the time of this shot
had to be disillusioned with the heavy fog (which didn't break until after 10:00am at the
westward venue I was observing wildlife at). A post by Artie Morris made reference
to this day where he wanted to go down to the lake in his backyard to photograph some
birds, but settled for a blur shot of a tree in his driveway instead.
