American Bittern - er, NOT

 American Bittern  Botaurus lentiginosus   

CORRECTION:  Black-crowned Night-Heron, juvenile.


This is a juvenile bird as it lacks the black streak on the sides of its neck.  I flushed out 11 young bitterns BC Night-Herons at Last Mountain Lake late Thursday afternoon.
