“…In North Dakota, the peak breeding season extends from mid-June to late July (Stewart 1975). One American Bittern female renested in northwestern Minnesota; this was the first documented case for the species (Azure 1998, Azure et al 2000. Brininger (1996) found that 41% of 22 radiomarked adult American Bitterns in northwestern Minnesota returned to breeding territories occupied in previous years.…”

This paper describes the first use of radiotracking to follow closely the secretive Great Bittern Botaurus stellaris , and to quantify its reedbed habitat preferences at a fine scale. Eight males were tracked at two sites in Britain, at which they were mainly resident through the winter. Their median home-range sizes were 14.6, 19.3 and 33.1 ha during the booming, moult and winter periods, respectively, and home-ranges were, on average, composed of 30% open pools and 48% reedbed edge (of 30 m width). Great Bitterns were most often active in reed with 20 cm water depth within the 30-m reed edge next to water, whereas areas of reedbed near scrub or further from the water's edge were avoided. Reed edge adjacent to open pools was preferred over that adjacent to channels and ditches. These results provide a basis for conservation recommendations on the quantity and composition of reedbed habitat and provide the scientific basis for a national programme of reedbed rehabilitation and restoration.
