Stock Photo: Juvenile Least Bittern On Cattail Reeds
ID 288909612 © Eabrannon | Megapixl.com
This least bittern (Ixobrychus exilis) was part of a rare nest in a local riparian area in Phoenix, Arizona. Possibly juvenile based on the fluffiness of the feathers on its head. Least bitterns don't wade in the water. They walk on the reeds instead. This bird has white and brown feathers striping its chest. Least bitterns are often found by lakes, ponds, or streams.
