Observation details
Originally thought to have been a Juvenile Green Heron, I did further identification from a cropped photo and believe this bird to have been an American Bittern. The sighting was quick as I just caught it flying away. But the main reason for changing my identification is due to the lack of a dark green marking on its head and the darker contrast of the wings.
