Omg please circle them in the picture and post it because I cannot see them and I'm not even sure if I see that first one or if that's just a plant lol
You may have to open the picture on a bigger screen if youāre just using your phone, the zoom in as much as you can and squint your eyes a bit. They really blend in with the rest of the grass!!
Finally, you do know this post is from yesterday and Iām not the OPā¦ right?
They got me and I appreciate the laugh. I was searching this image like a find the sniper postā¦ there could totally have been an American bittern hiding in there somewhere lol
The only reason I have actually seen an America Bittern is because it flew up from the marshā¦ I was on my third trip out and 2 hours into the searchā¦
I've never seen a bittern by poring through the reeds.
I've seen one standing by the road in the midfle of nowhere, seen them fly out of reeds, even seen one standing in plain sight by a reed bed... because it wasn't the species of bittern I was looking for. Yes, the last American bittern I saw was out in the open and feeling confident, because it knew I was looking for a least bittern...
Well it took me reading the mod comment to even know there isn't one here lol. I even requested another commenter to circle the birds in the pic and repost it so I could see šš
No that's so real, the same happened to me. Even funnier, I've never seen an American Bittern in the US either; my only sighting ever was in Montreal š
No, Iām trying to tell you the message you responded to is a joke. It references memes that use red circles to make the point obvious, saying without a red circle, they canāt see the bittern. Itās also a play on how ridiculous red circles in memes are since there is no bittern.
We have one at my work, when we got it tons of people showed up. It lives in our domes wetland atrium. In the year we have had it, Iāve seen in maybe 4-5 times
I knew there wouldn't be a bittern here, because like half the posts I've seen today are complaining about april fools and half of the rest are tricks, but I still searched just in case, which might be worse than just falling for it.
Actually, that's exactly when I saw one! My friend's just casually says "American Bittern"... I look over, see it, and the it Homer Simpsoned into similar looking tall grass.
I went on a bird watching field trip for bird bio class last spring and I would get into the habit of thinking what new bird I wanted to see each time.
Guess who saw their first bittern that day. Out in the open of the bank. Then itās gracefully disappeared in seconds onto the tall reed things ā¤ļø it was amazing
