Summary edit
| Description | These birds are fairly secretive and rely on camouflage feathering to blend into the marsh to conceal them from predators. They make a loud "glugging" noise during the breeding season that sounds like a boot being pulled out of mud. This male was standing right along the edge of a road, calling to his prospective mate on the other side. The birds lose their decorative wing patches after mating; this is the first time I've ever seen a bittern in this plumage. |
