Observation details

One adult and one juvenile photographed and a third individual heard. Birds were in typical skyward posture, streaking on breasts. Dark flight feathers observed in flight. We initially saw a flying bittern several times. We wondered if we were seeing separate individuals. We found one adult perched on some reeds and photographed. We intentionally separated and went to opposite ends of the tracks to confirm and document multiple birds. Eric remained with one and I was able to see and photograph a second one, a juvenile with a more downy/smudgy looking back. Eric heard one call near the one he was watching. Attached images are of one adult and one juvenile.
