Observation details
Two juveniles not fully molted out of juvenile plumage. One of them disappeared back into the cattails before I could get a photo of it. The one I mostly watched was very awkward, and as I photographed it the bittern fell off of its perch and spent a couple of minutes hanging by one foot looking like it was having some trouble figuring out how to get upright. Surely this bird hasn't moved far from where it hatched.
