Jeff Wendorff's bird photography gallery of
Bitterns from around the world.
Bittern Wiki Bitterns are a classification of birds in the heron family of Pelican order of wading birds. Species named
bitterns tend to be the shorter-necked, often more secretive members of this family.
Bitterns usually frequent reed beds and similar marshy areas, and feed on amphibians, reptiles, insects, and fish.
Unlike the similar storks, ibises, and spoonbills, herons, egrets, pelicans, and
bitterns fly with their necks retracted, not outstretched.
