November 26, 2017 - Dwarf Bittern (Ixobrychus sturmii)

These bitterns are found in much of sub-Saharan Africa, except for arid areas. They eat insects, frogs, small fish, crabs, spiders, and snails, mostly hunting at night and at dusk while wading in shallow water or perching on grasses. Pairs build flimsy nests from twigs and grass stems in flooded bushes or trees. Both parents incubate the eggs and feed the chicks.
