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 strong, low-pitched “booming” call is important because it carries a long distance, allowing competing males and interested females to know where the displaying bird is, despite their habi

Quiet as a whisper in the reeds, the least bittern strikes. Most folks never get to see this shy little heron in action, but today, the marsh gave up one of its secrets. #leastbittern #heron #birds #wildlife #nature #sonyalpha #orlandowetlands | Amber Favorite Photography

In honor of World Migratory Bird Day (this Saturday), we'd like to share with you this clip of a Least Bittern -- a tiny member of the heron family -- who we helped earlier this week. This little guy (we can tell it's a male by the dark coloration on his back) was found by a caring soul on the steps of a trucking terminal in an industrialized area of Milwaukee, just west of Mitchell Field, and brought to us for help. Huddled as he was on the concrete next to a building, with massive trucks rumbl

Here a female bittern makes a loud rattling call that attracts a male bird and this is one of the recordings I am aware of showing bittern courtship behaviour. Using this vocalisation to locate breeding females using Automatic Acoustic Devices and visual spectrogram analysis is a useful research tool c.

Booming brilliant ✨ Ahead of #WorldWetlandsDay we're celebrating the elusive Bittern. This secretive and iconic species relies on wetlands to feed and nest. Famous for the male's booming call, they were once on the brink of disappearing in the UK ⏳ Thanks to ongoing conservation work to restore and create vital wetland habitat at RSPB Middleton Lakes and other places, Bitterns are bouncing back in the midlands. In 2024, at least three young Bitterns fledged at RSPB Middleton Lakes! They also had

Happy Freedom Friday! 🪷 This Least Bittern was found weak and unable to walk or fly in Delray Beach. Upon arrival at our hospital, our veterinary team determined that the bird was underweight and became easily fatigued during its intake exam. Fortunately, with supportive care—including medication and rest—the Bittern made a full recovery and was ready for release just ten days later. Least Bitterns are a small species of heron commonly found hunting in the tall grasses along waterways. Despite

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?

Have you heard Britain’s loudest bird? Bitterns are beginning to boom at many of our nature reserves. 😃 At Lancashire’s RSPB Leighton Moss, which boasts the largest reedbed in North West England, these elusive heron-like birds can be already be heard booming across the reserve and Morecambe Bay. Did you know the female Bittern can hear the male’s mating call from up to 3 km away? Let us know if you’ve heard any booming Bitterns at RSPB Leighton Moss or your local reserve!

Their ‘booming’ has been described as a giant gulping or the sound of blowing on the top of a glass bottle (aka a very strange noise).
