The American Bittern was seen in the marsh near the Brainerd Walmart (Chattanooga, Hamilton Co) each day this week since Monday (9/27). The marsh is on Greenway View Dr (the road back to Walmart) just after you turn off Brainerd Rd. Several times it was visible from the sidewalk, sometimes visible from the other side of the marsh.

I'm certain they will have even better shots.
