Least Bittern

A very small heron with long legs, toes, bill and neck, the Least Bittern has adapted to marsh life, easily navigating through cattails and reeds.  Unlike most herons that wade while hunting, Least Bitterns hang inches over the water while gripping vegetation and staring intently for a meal to grab.
