Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
The least bittern is really the most when it comes to agility! Though they're the smallest heron, standing at only 36 cm (14 in) tall, they are often found in water that is far too deep for their larger cousins. This is because the least bittern has very long, agile toes which allows it to grip onto the slender reeds of its hunting grounds, keeping it suspended over the water as it searches for prey.

day 32
today's bird is the least bittern!
I LOVE THE LEAST BITTERN!!!!!!!
- least bitterns use their curved claws to hunt while suspended from reeds
- they can compress their bodies to extraordinary degrees to fit between tiny gaps in reeds
- they are the smallest member of the family ardeidae, on average measuring 11-14 inches in length and weighing in at only 1.6-3.4 ounces

Detox Doodles of Bitterns! They're so goofy, can't believe how long and short their necks can be!
Detox doodles are daily sketches I do to curb mindless scrolling. I sometimes do them throughout the day, but lately I've been doing them in one sitting. When I have the desire to scroll, I tell myself to save the time for doodling!
