For the past few days, all I've been hearing outside is the "pumping" sound of an American Bittern. You've got to hear this to believe it. It really sounds mechanical.
I went outside a few times with binoculars and as soon as the critter saw me, he shut down and stood stick-still to blend in with the reeds around him. It worked.
But timing is everything. I was taking the clothes off my line and there he was. I could see hear him and see him in action.
I took a few snaps and as I got further away, he started up again. I hope he finds a mate!

Wonderful!
That's quite a work-out he does. Very cool!
They just make the whackiest noise. Great pics.
