Title: Green Heron or Least Bittern
Post by: Canoncan on August 19, 2006, 12:31:40 PM

This was taken at Oshawa second Marsh this week. I first was sure it was a Green Heron, though its behaviour was more of a Bittern. Every noise it heard it would stiffen up and point it's bill skyward and stand perfectly still.

Looks like a juvenile Green Heron to me.
