Observation details
Recorded their calls. Near the end of the recording, you can hear two birds calling over each other. I used a Telinga parabolic dish with a Sennheiser MKH-20 microphone, attached to a Sound Devices MixPre-3 digital recorder. The bitterns were in a wet meadow about 300-400 feet south of Creek Rood, about 0.75 miles west of SR 79 and Harris Farm Supply. I stood on the edge of a barbed wire fence, 300-400 feet from the calling birds. In the background are about 500 Red-winged Blackbirds continually flying up and circling. You can also hear an Eastern Meadowlark and a Pileated Woodpecker.
