It was an incredibly gorgeous morning at Huntley Meadows. I woke up early, so decided to go try to find the rails (Virginia and King) that have been tantalizing people at Huntley. Below, a female redwinged blackbird nibbles at a cattail.
Lesser yellowlegs were all over the place.
Also least sandpipers (below) and solitary sandpipers, though I didn't get any good pics of the solitary.
Two American Bitterns flew in. I saw this one doing his stick impression. For better Bittern pics, go here.

Those bitterns are sneaky birds.-I've had them right in front of me without even seeing them at first.-You saw some nice birds!
What you can't see from the picture is how far away this was--clear on the other side of the pond. It turned out better than I expected....
