It aint graceful nor elegant, but it gets food in my belly!

I remember the bittern when I feel down. Not everything in life should be a swan.

"Extensive freshwater marshes are the favored haunts of this large, stout, solitary heron. It is seldom seen as it slips through the reeds, but its odd pumping or booming song, often heard at dusk or at night, carries for long distances across the marsh."

Least Bittern is actually the MOST Bittern. Thank you.

Bitterns are basically herons and they do absolutely just look like someone tried to draw a heron from memory and then gave up halfway.
