Yet Another Bird in the Bush
American Bittern
I've been seeing these at the park for ages, but they're always either far away, or hiding, or both. Apparently they're very secretive birds that like to hide in reeds. When observed, they pretend to be reeds.
Or, if they're not in reeds at the time, they try and stay still and hope you go away.
