Has anyone else heard any booming sounds coming from their local marsh? Our bird project learder Doug Morin tells us more: "This is a male American Bittern, performing it’s vocalization – sometimes called “booming.” Bitterns are a highly camouflaged and secretive species that inhabit dense shallow marshes.

16K views · 1.5K reactions | The American Bittern is one of the marsh’s most elusive hunters, moving with slow precision through dense reeds. Designed to vanish in a heartbeat, it rarely offers a clear view. I had to line up a perfect gap in the vegetation to capture these moments as it slipped through the wetlands in search of its next meal. #americanbittern #bittern #birds #nature #wildlife #sonyalpha #wildlifevideos | Amber Favorite Photography | Facebook

Using this vocalisation to locate breeding females using Automatic Acoustic Devices and visual spectrogram analysis is a useful research tool c.

Don’t let the elusive, weird and wacky Australasian Bittern get voted out in round one of Bird of the Year! 🐦 This Endangered bird is fascinating – almost mythical – with a unique booming call! 🌾 Did you know? When alarmed, these birds freeze with their necks stretched high and bills pointing to the sky. Sometimes they even sway in the breeze, blending perfectly with the reeds around them. Team Bittern?
