Scientific Name Ixobrychus minutus
Location Marievale, Springs, South Africa
Comments These small bitterns are very secretive and one seldom is lucky enough to see one, but this juvie came flying in just as I had the opportunity to use a friend 600 F4 Nikkor. This long neck and forward facing eyes are typical of the stance on these bitterns.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
