Least Bittern range

The Least Bittern is the smaller bittern between the two native species seen in North America. This tiny marsh bird is able to conceal itself in a single clump of grass. This bittern is more likely to be heard calling than to actually being seen. These small marsh birds are also found in Cuba.
