Oops

 

 

I misidentified a bird.

 

That least bittern I showed you yesterday.

 

It’s not a least bittern.  It’s a young green heron that doesn’t have its adult colors yet.

 

Here is what the least bittern looks like.

(Not my photo.)

 

Completely different from the juvenile green heron, right?

 

So, as I said yesterday, the least bittern is the most difficult to spot of the three birds I described.  Most years we don’t see one at all, and it turns out we haven’t yet this year either!
