Bittern and Heron Photos

Ardeidae Family

Each of these are species that are found in South Dakota, although some are only rare visitors.  Least Bitterns are the only Bittern or Heron species found in South Dakota that I don't have photos for.  It's not for a lack of trying!  Curse you, Least Bitterns!!!
