Bittern \Bit"tern\, n. [OE. bitoure, betore, bitter, fr. F.
butor; of unknown origin.] (Zool.)
A wading bird of the genus Botaurus, allied to the herons,
of various species.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The common European bittern is Botaurus stellaris. It
makes, during the brooding season, a noise called by
Dryden bumping, and by Goldsmith booming. The American
bittern is Botaurus lentiginosus, and is also called
stake-driver and meadow hen. See Stake-driver.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The name is applied to other related birds, as the
least bittern (Ardetta exilis), and the sun
bittern.
[1913 Webster]

4. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Bittern
is found three times in connection with the desolations to come
upon Babylon, Idumea, and Nineveh (Isa. 14:23; 34:11; Zeph.
2:14). This bird belongs to the class of cranes. Its scientific
name is Botaurus stellaris. It is a solitary bird, frequenting
marshy ground. The Hebrew word (kippod) thus rendered in the
Authorized Version is rendered "porcupine" in the Revised
Version. But in the passages noted the kippod is associated with
birds, with pools of water, and with solitude and desolation.
This favours the idea that not the "porcupine" but the "bittern"
is really intended by the word.
