Cinnamon Bittern

Pelicaniformes - Ardeidae - Botaurus cinnamomeus (Pucung Bendang)

Small heron of wet and open grassy areas such as flooded meadows and paddy fields. Uniformly bright rufous upperparts of adult male unmistakable. Female and juvenile have pale streaked belly, dark streaks and spots scattered on the wings and back, and are dark brown with some rufous tones above. Females often have light spotting on the wings, potentially causing confusion with female Schrenck's Bittern, which has brighter and more solid white spots and a prominent dark crown lacking in Cinnamon. Gives dry croaking clicks.

Lurking, shying off, but steady

 

* Simplicity of habit - honest practice

- true to nature - 

stand to what is

surrounds, and around

the imagined, the real

there but not here

here but not there

make no mistake

where I go

there I am

there I am

where I sing

where I seek

I am

 

when bowl runneth over

when the sky let off
when the earth let out

descend in humility

 

My life, my definition

It's not a lost world, I find a cause, I celebrate.

 

Once, ago

 

Can't get enough of me?  Those were the days when we walk together.  Yes, I walk and only fly off when uncomfortable.  It's up to you, you know, when we can walk along again.  I will always be here.  Tread mindfully.

If I may have my say

For what am I distracted, for how do I live, the power of the internal or the burden of the external.  Heaven and earth may be different for you and me, life and death may be different for you and me.  We will show respect one for the other.
