Chris:

Is this the East Amherst Marsh? If so, what time did you get there? I lead =
a birding trip Sunday morning for the NatureNS/NatureNB AGM event and we ha=
d great views of a pair of bitterns right at the last parking area just as =
we were leaving. I wonder if what you heard was more of a "keeping in touch=
" call rather that a "this is my territory" call=85

Hi everyone,

Today I was at the Amherst Marsh.   On two occasions I heard a one syllable=
 sound coming from the marsh that sounded like =93Oong-K"

The American Bittern is known for making an =93Oong-KA-chunk=94 sound.   Wh=
at I heard sounded like just the first syllable as I said which sounded lik=
e =93Oong-K=94  The tone sounded like a Bittern from the one syllable.  I=
=92m aware of what a bull frog sounds like
and it wasn=92t a bull frog.

Question :  Do American Bitterns do a single =93Oong-K=94 sound?   I want t=
o know the answer before I enter these two American Bitterns on E-bird.
