A fairly large brown bird is standing in the water of a small pond on Hulls Falls Road. This little pond attracts a lot of wetland birds, and it’s a reliable place to see some adorable ducklings in the spring. It’s near Keene in the High Peaks region of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York
The #birdoftheday theme for today is #standinginwater. Here’s an #AmericanBittern standing in water in a small pond in the #Adirondacks. 5 September 2018. wildadirondacks.org/adirondack-b...

American Bitterns are normally shy, well camouflaged, and really hard to spot as they hide in the reeds. These two were basking in the morning sun to warm up during a severe cold snap.

A brown and white striped American Bittern, a member of the heron family, pointing its beak straight up in alarm mode when our birding group approached where it was hunting. The bird was standing in tall brown and green grasses and brown plants. Seen at Ellis Creek Wetlands in Petaluma, California.
Another bird that's hiding. This #AmericanBittern went into alarm mode as our birding group approached, and hid in plain sight by blending in with the plants! 😮🤎

An American Bittern is a master at camouflage. When startled, it stretches its neck strait up to blend in with the reeds and will even sway slightly side to side with the reeds if there’s a breeze. © Sandra Blair

American bitterns (Botaurus lentiginosus) are masters of camouflage. This one at Ash Creek Wildlife Area CA was easy to spot. #birds #Americanbittern #nature #naturalhistory 🪶
Just this morning, I was lucky to find this American Bittern calling/displaying in its own unique fashion. It sounds a bit like rocks dropping into a bucket of water. In all my time looking at birds, I've only witnessed this one other time.

Birdwatching a brown Bittern against a green grass background at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in Southwest Washington state Pacific Northwest pnw wilderness
A common wetland resident, the adult American Bittern is much easier to spot against the fresh green grasses compared to its preferred brown grasses & dried reeds
(Unique call video posted soon)

Have you ever noticed the "beard" on an American Bittern before???
I hadn't before this image!

When you see a pile of sticks and mud start moving you might have an American Bittern on your hands 😂
Haven’t seen this guy in a few months so it’s always nice to get reacquainted with an old friend.

It’s not that difficult but how awesome is the camouflage?! This was a sighting we had at #reifelbirdsanctuary in Delta on what turned out to be a very wet day!

Rare sight, endless skies, and a bittern beauty. The American bittern in all its stealthy glory! 🌾

While mostly nocturnal, one can often (with difficulty) see American Bitterns around marker 12 on the autoroute at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge during the day.

Today was a bitter day with a bittern. A cooperative (!) American bittern (AMBI) (Botaurus lentiginosus). Digiscoped images. #birding #Americanbittern #birds #NJbirds #digiscoping
I was focused on photographing some birds about 50’ off shore and then saw this guy right below where I was sitting! I love how well the American Bittern camouflages into the reeds - so good the camera gets confused.

A shy American bittern stretches its striped neck forward out of the reeds.
The bird of the day is this very accommodating American bittern who came all the way out of cover. Its courage is much appreciated! I love the lacy pattern on its back. #birds #americanbittern #bittern

American bittern
A sharp-eyed birder pointed out this #AmericanBittern to me. It's my first time seeing/photographing one. This is a reclusive bird that is rarely out in the open. Taken in #petaluma, #california in December, 2024.
