One of my most exciting recent sightings was this American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus) spotted in Long Point this month. This was a species of bird that I always assumed I would never see, but all it takes is being at the right place at the right time. These secretive herons stalk wetlands for fish, amphibians, reptiles and insects. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #americanbittern #bittern #botaurus #botauruslentiginosus #wetlandbirds #marshbird #herons #camouflage #ontarionaturephotography #longpoint #longpointbirds #blognorfolk #norfolkwild #norfolkontario (at Long Point, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd9m4o3M2nq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
