Title	American Bittern
Creator	Gentry, Sallie
Description	The American Bittern is found all across the country but prefers habitats that include freshwater wetlands with tall emergent vegetation where they can hide. Although you may not see them, you would have no problem hearing them as Bitterns have a distinctive booming call that they use to communicate. These eerie calls have earned them many nicknames: stake-driver, thunder-pumper, and mire-drum.
