Wrong lens or wrong subject?

For the last couple of days I've been seeing an American Bittern (maybe) on the driveway (he's been hangin' out at one of the wetlands). And for the last couple of days I've either haven't had my camera with me or I haven't had the right lens.

So, this evening, I go out lookin' for my bittern.

No luck. The silly bird is probably both camera shy AND psychic.

But, the sun was sitting and the clouds were pretty and I didn't want to come out empty handed.
