American Bittern Sun Bittern
Bittern is a common name given to birds belonging to the subfamily Botaurinae of the heron family. Bitterns tend to be shorter necked and more secretive than other members of the family.
Bitterns usually frequent reed beds and similar marshy areas, and feed on amphibians, reptiles, insects, and fish.
Unlike the similar herons, egrets, bitterns fly with their necks retracted, not outstretched.
