Bird of the Week American Bittern Botaurus lentiginosus This heron species is more often heard than seen, but its strange call has earned it the nickname "thunder pumper." When alarmed, the well-camouflaged American Bittern sticks its long neck and bill straight up and sways in the wind to mimic the marshy reeds of its habitat. Hear their call on BirdWeb!
