  • Additional Information
    • Abstract:
      A large bittern spends its daylight hours by itself stalking for prey in its reedbed habitat. Its long, sharp bill and quick reflexes enable it to stab fish and amphibians. One of the four species of these large wading birds is also known for its "booming" mating call, which can be heard three miles (5 kilometers) away. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
