American Bittern
by Jerry Segraves
The American Bittern is not commonly seen thanks to it's fabulous natural camouflage, however this one was sitting in short grass and seemed to think it was hidden.
Equipment: Canon EOS 20D 100-400 IS Lens

It would be helpful to describe what a Bittern and a Sand Prarie are. Most people have never heard of either.

Nice camoflauge! The bird just wanted to see if you were paying attention… he/she seems to be preening just for you!
A very powerful shot, congrats!
