My bird of the day is the American Bittern because he go SCHLOOP
in fact they go SCHLOOP in two different ways: one is their necks (they do the standard heron thing), but also they make the best sound in the world. really it’s incredible go listen to it immediately
tumblr isn’t very happy about letting me upload mp3s in a post so go listen on ebird, ill wait: https://ebird.org/species/amebit
all squished up:
extended:
I don’t actually know much else about American bitterns: to my knowledge they’re, like, pretty standard herons besides their Borb and Schloop aspects.
