Least Bittern

Ixobrychus exilis

Description:

This little bird was seen flying through the wetlands and disappeared into some reeds. Then the reeds at the bottom began to move and this adorable little bird popped out to hang on the reeds with its feet and wait for a target to pass in the water where it then darted its head and beak into the water to snag the prey.

Habitat:

Wetlands
