A joyous fat bear week to all 🐻

#Bird of the Day: American Bittern (AMBI) It’s a good day when I spot a bittern, as they are notorious for posing motionless among the brown reeds & grasses, throat stretched upward & its brown-striped neck pattern blending with the vertical growth of the vegetation.
