Observed in close distance.(about 1 m) Size: small and could be overlooked. a little bigger than a black-necked starling Plumage: very dark streaks on its neck. The back was in dark brown/ black with tiny white spots. Legs: yellow with long toes Standing pose: neck was straight and upright (a frightened bittern look) The bird was too dark to be a yellow bittern. I thought of Cinnamon Bittern but it wasn't brown/ chestnut at all. I checked for it after an hour but it was gone.   It was unbelievable to see it in school where there is no fish ponds/ reeds! « Last Edit: Oct 12th, 2005, 10:13pm by Webcreeper » Logged Lynx BBS Member BBS God     Posts: 429 Re: Schrenick's Bittern in school campus « Reply #1 on: Oct 12th, 2005, 9:46pm » Quote Modify That's a wonderful discovery....
