A little windy but worth the kayak trip because I was able to photo a bittern out in the open for the first time in Rachel Carson Reserve.  I think it is an Green Heron, although small and stretching it's neck up among branches to hide and look  I got to see it hide itself totally from view though erect and only 10 yards away.  Sure can stretch that neck out.

Also saw night herons, egrets, tricolored herons, kingfishers, whimbrel, willet, a lot of pelicans, terns, ibis, and fish crow.  Full moon high tide.
