Summary

[edit]
Description A Sunbittern looks a bit like a horizontal heron. It has a fairly long, straight bill; a long slender neck; a long protruding tail; and short legs used for stalking waterside prey. It is generally a cryptic bird, but hidden in the wings are two enormous bright "eyes" or "sunspots" that are used both in display, and to startle potential predators.
