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.

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

These secretive marshbirds frequent shorelines and vegetation edges that are dominated by tall emergent wetland plants. Their calls - loud, low, resonant, pumping sounds - are used to communicate within the thick vegetation, apparently to defend territory and find mates. This individual was both heard and seen (through a spotting sco

VOLUME UP ‼️ This American Bittern patient was feeling pretty bitter after admission to our rescue center! Patient #422 in 2025. These marsh-dwelling birds are a type of heron.

This bittern was likely on their way up to breeding grounds in the northern US when they were grounded in someone’s backyard in Charlotte, NC. We
