Observation details
A person at the office said that someone had photographed a bittern at the pond a week or so ago. Yesterday, while participating in a CVBC field trip, the bird was not found. I decided to return this morning. I parked across from the lower trail. I had only walked on the trail about 25 M when the bird flushed. Poor photo obtained as it flew. Large bittern, not as bulky as a night heron; brown/tan throat and belly striping; bill thin and more pointed than night-heron's.
