The American Bittern is a marsh dwelling bird of the heron family. It feeds on fish, frogs, mice, and insects. It also camouflages itself by standing very still in the tall grass of the wetlands. The American Bittern is a medium sized bird with streaked brown coloring. It also has a long neck and bill which makes it easier for it to find food. If an American Bittern sees a human it will stretch its long neck and point it's bill skyward.
