Definition
A subfamily of birds in the heron family, characterized by their stocky build and camouflaged plumage.
Etymology
From the genus name 'Botaurus,' derived from Latin 'botaurus,' an onomatopoetic word imitating the deep booming call of the bittern (a type of heron). The suffix '-inae' is a taxonomic designation for subfamily.
Kelly Says
The bittern in this subfamily makes one of nature's weirdest sounds—a deep, resonant 'boom' that can be heard nearly a mile away and sounds like someone blowing into a bottle underwater!
