American Bittern spotted in Adair Co. According to eBird's Adair County Rare Bird Alert, birders Nathan Kunze and Logan Anderson reported an American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus) in Adair County on April 21, 2026. Their checklist is marked near the junction of Duckbill Road and Corp Road, across the road from the Janice Holt Giles Cabin. The location link for the sighting is maps.google.com. All About Birds says "You'll need sharp eyes to catch sight of an American Bittern. This streaky, brown and buff heron can materialize among the reeds, and disappear as quickly, especially when striking a concealment pose with neck stretched and bill pointed skyward. These stealthy carnivores stand motionless amid tall marsh vegetation, or patiently stalk fish, frogs, and insects. They are at their most noticeable in spring, when the marshes resound with their odd booming calls that sounds like the gulps of a thirsty giant." Note: Thanks to Beth for noting the date error in our original post. It's been updated to April 21, 2026. This story was posted on 2026-04-22 12:31:15
