American Bittern at the Duck Pond!

This afternoon Nate Fronk found an American Bittern at the Duck Pond, here in Centre County. At the time, I was up on Tussey Mtn hawkwatching, but I quickly left and drove down to State College and was able to get great looks at the bird – a species I had never seen before in the county!
