I went to Baskett Slough NWR yesterday and photographed an American Bittern for about an hour. I am always amazed at all the different poses and looks this bird does when photographing it. Photos include it catching a fish and sticking out it's tongue. Click on link below for photos. Happy Birding, Jim Leonard. https://plus.google.com/photos/108302360004365615395/albums/6027018626253402465?authkey=CJWW1LSe1sn1Sg
