Bitterns

cut from a sheet of brown paper as we
stood by the river in front of the cabin. This
model I [could] not paste on this sheet of the journal
folding it of necessity. When opened it shows
the ruffs fully expanded & their actual size
as they looked to us; ie making no allowance
for the distance at which they were seen.
