It was still dark the morning of August 22, 2012, when we left Nxamaseri Island Lodge (Maun, Botswana) by boat for our last birding expedition there. Brad took this closeup of a Little Bittern, Ixobrychus minutus, as it perched amid the reeds about twenty minutes after sunrise. Males have a black cap and wings that are boldly edged in black. Underparts are mainly rufous with some white interspersed on the chest and belly. Legs are yellow. Temperatures were in the upper 60's with clear blue skies.
