This summer I took a trip to Vermont to visit my family.
Across the street is a field with a small pond. The pond is surrounded by cattails and a beautiful weeping willow tree.
I love this spot, the field holds childhood memories.
While walking around the pond this
American Bittern flew out of the cattails.
I had just read a murder mystery with this bird as part of the story plot.
I was happy to see an elusive bird.
The photo is not great but it does prove that I saw the bird.
I am slowly organizing my bird photos and I realize some
Birds I see almost every time I go out.
Other birds I will most likely only get to see once.
