  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Keys to American Bittern (&lt;i&gt;Botaurus lentiginosus&lt;/i&gt;) management include protecting wetlands and adjacent uplands and maintaining idle upland habitat. American Bitterns have been reported to use habitats with 30–203 centimeters (cm) average vegetation height, 44–99 cm visual obstruction reading, and less than 91 cm water depth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
