Summary

[edit]
Description The American Bittern was once hunted because of the vocalizations they make around dusk. According to C.H. Merriam, one hundred men gathered in a small Connecticut town on a Sabbath day in 1786 to rid nearby swamps of the much dreaded American Bittern. Now, many visitors to the Refuge eagerly search the marsh for these secretive birds. Photo Credit: Dawn Marsh
