[va-richmond-general] Re: American Bittern Henricus 1/2

Linda & I went and checked it out on Thursday and didn't find the bittern 
anywhere in the swamp. We looked hard for it in the same area Julie & Arun 
described. We did see some other good birds though, but nothing really unusual. 
Cooper's Hawk and Wood Ducks, Hairy, Downy, Red-bellied, and Pileated 
Woodpeckers. Juncos, White-throated, Song, and Savannah Sparrows.
At home we have had a really different male House Finch hanging around on some 
days. It has a very light orange head and yellow breast. The colors are quite 
pale compared to others at the same time, and the colors are quite different. 
None of the others look the same as that.

Hello VA and Richmond birders,

The American Bittern is still present as of yesterday at Henricus/Dutch Gap.
It is in the same area as described by Julie Kacmarcik "smack dab in the
middle of the swamp between the 2 observations platforms and about 50 feet
out". I was there late morning.
