In migration you might find birds in unusual places like a city park along Lake Ontario. It was resting in a small brush.
Keep your eyes peeled. :D
Thanks for looking.

very tough to catch these guys exposed, let alone in an interesting tree!
Stunning full view of this stealthy critter and exquisite detail and soft light.
Just exceptional!

Nicely spotted and captured.

Classic bittern pose, Karl, even if it was in an unusual place! Lovely detail and beautiful warm light.
