Question

What eats an American Bittern?

Answer 1

Hawks, owls, snakes, mink, racoon, the odd hungry alligator.

They are a water fowl and not incredibly large, so anything larger likes to munch on them.

If you want more information on the Bittern  John Eastman wrote a great book.  see the reference below.

Answer 2

I DO!!  They taste like chicken.  I like to roast them with a stuffing made from water chestnuts, mushrooms, bread cubes, shallots, butter, and garlic.  Now that is good eatin'.
