American Bittern

American Bittern – Merritt Island – October 2015

“There was no one alive who did not contribute his share of mystery to the world.”- Kevin Brockmeier

Here’s an American Bittern “hiding”. They stand like this to mimic reeds – however this guy was a bit out in the open for that routine.

Glossy or Limpkin?

Glossy Ibis – Merritt Island – October 2015

“It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed” – Thomas Moore

I puzzled over this guy for a while. When I was taking the pics I was pretty sure it was a glossy ibis, however when I got it home it’s was a limpkin – with odd (to me) coloring. So odd that I looked at the pic and changed him back to a glossy. A white face maybe?
