Summary
In today's episode I'll tell you about a couple birds that are widespread in the United States, but that you may not be familiar with. They're species of heron, but unlike their great blue cousin, these herons stay pretty well hidden. Let's learn more about the American bittern and the Least bittern. Support the podcast!
