After reading the book over and over for decades seeing your photo might have triggered the name even without the words. <BR/><BR/>I haven't run into any bitterns in real life but hope you see a Least Bittern as a major award for surviving la grippe.<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-12653363365755564972008-11-16T10:38:00.000-06:002008-11-16T10:38:00.000-06:00Katie, yes!

That second one I took throught he scope, and it turned out better than I thought it would.<BR/><BR/>Dani, they are very cool, chubby characters.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Deb! Now hubby will probably be seeing Least Bitterns everywhere. :)<BR/><BR/>Rose, yep! Finally, after 4+ years living near a pond, we finally got one. I think the fact that the ponds have grown up with rushes and such around the edges have attracted more wildlife.<BR/><BR/>Thanks WLB! Yep, even if some of us move off to another state. :)<BR/><BR/>RA, yes he was lovely and quiet and not too perturbed at us looking at him. I don't know if these guys are out west or not.<BR/><BR/>Pat, I probably wouldn't have either, if I hadn't taken a class on birdwatching. I notice all kinds of birds now that I never knew existed before. (I thought a cuckoo was just a clock invention, but no!)<BR/><BR/>OW, I hope we get the Least Bittern next.Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-81665232485122302022008-11-16T08:01:00.000-06:002008-11-16T08:01:00.000-06:00Bitterns are always special.
