I didn't see any information about it anywhere?? Would like to know what birds were sighted, etc as I am planning to visit it real soon. Thanks Liz ----- Original Message ----- From: Patrick Kelly To: <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Monday, June 08, 2015 10:32 AM Subject: Re: [NatureNS] American Bittern - Sounds 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 had 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… Pat On Jun 7, 2015, at 9:33 PM, Christopher wrote: 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 “Oong-K" The American Bittern is known for making an “Oong-KA-chunk” sound. What I heard sounded like just the first syllable as I said which sounded like “Oong-K” The tone sounded like a Bittern from the one syllable. I’m aware of what a bull frog sounds like and it wasn’t a bull frog. Question : Do American Bitterns do a single “Oong-K” sound? I want to know the answer before I enter these two American Bitterns on E-bird.
