#bittern

It’s the least bittern! Decided to take a rare weekday trip to the wetlands on a work day for about an hour and a half, and this bird alone made it all worth it! I had only seen the least bittern once before and it was too far away to get footage of; but this one made it a point to be front and center for my lens and it completely made my day! I should do weekday trips out to the wetlands more often, at least around now when there is more daylight to work with. #birding #birdinginflorida #bittern #sillybird #birdingphotography #wildlifephotography #naturalflorida

Ever wondered exactly what an American Bittern sounds like? Take a listen! 👂 You'll likely start hearing these birds in the spring on their breeding grounds at extensive freshwater marshes—their oong-KA-chunk calls may be repeated a few times and can often be heard for half a mile.

You don’t often see Bitterns fly… and now you know why. 🤣 #WWTLondon #Bittern #WetlandWildlife #FunnyBirds #Titanic

❓ Did you know ❓ Male bitterns begin to boom as early as January to establish territories and attract mates! The sound of booming bitterns is so low that it can be hard for your phone speakers to pick it up 🤯 Try watching this reel with your headphones in for a better listening experience 🎧🎶 #Bittern #BoomingBittern #UKBirds #Conservation

Heute Morgen war ich bei frostigen Temperaturen unterwegs, um eine Rohrdommel zu filmen. Die winterliche Stimmung mit Eis und Kälte war beeindruckend 🥶🥶, auch wenn die Rohrdommel leider nicht – wie erhofft – über das Eis gelaufen ist. Trotzdem ein besonderer Moment, diesen seltenen und gut getarnten Vogel in seiner natürlichen Umgebung filmen zu dürfen. ❄️🪶 Die Rohrdommel zählt zu meinen absoluten Lieblingsvögeln. . . #rohrdommel #greatbittern #bittern #naturephotography #wildlife

IBR First! 🐦 American Bittern! On April 8th, we received a call about an unusual bird stuck in someone’s backyard. When the finder sent a photo, we were shocked to see… an American Bittern, a secretive marsh bird rarely seen up close, standing tall right beside a chain-link fence in a wide-open yard! True to bittern fashion, he was perfectly still, neck stretched up, beak pointed toward the sky, eyes forward, clearly a little confused about how he’d ended up there and what to do next. Once safely brought to IBR, we found he was in good weight and had no injuries. With strong winds that day, it’s likely he got swept off course and landed in the yard by accident. After a few days of rest (and an all-you-can-eat buffet of minnows and mice!), he made it very clear he was ready to continue his journey. On day four, we released him in a quiet spot filled with tall grass and water, the perfect place for a bittern to blend back into the wild. Stay tuned for our next post to hear what a bittern sounds like! #iowabirdrehab #iowa #birds #nature #bittern

Nas margens silenciosas dos brejos, o caçador entra em ação. 🐟🪶 O bittern é um mestre do camuflado: fica imóvel por longos minutos, como se fosse parte do capim… até que, em um movimento rápido e preciso, captura o peixe com o bico afiado. Nada de pressa — só paciência, estratégia e instinto. Na natureza, quem sabe esperar, sobrevive. ✨ Que 2026 seja assim pra gente também: estratégico, paciente — e com a coragem de agir na hora certa. Perseverar sempre. #natureza #aves #bittern #pescando #wildlife camuflagem birdwatching naturelovers discoverearth

🔔SOUND ON🔔 Video reposted from @mazur_photography 🔸🔸 An American Bittern performs its song, and if you listen closely you can hear another individual responding at the end of the clip. They sing to attract mates and to mark territories. Producing the sound involves the syrinx, inflating the esophagus, and the up and down movement of the head. #americanbittern #bittern #marshbirds #birdsofinstagram #birdphotography #birdvideos #birdreels #birds_in_view #birdwatching #birding #birdbrilliance #bb_of_ig #amazingbirds #birdlovers #birds_adored #sonyalpha #sonywildlife #sonybirdphotography #centralvalleyphotographer #californiabirds #californiawildlife #freshbreezeclub #fbpc_birds #fbpc_wildlife
