Hi Jan and All, The American Bittern remains at the wetlands. I returned for the 3rd time today at around 6 p.m. and looked around again. This time I was able to find the American Bittern without too much difficulty. However if it's hunkered down in the spiky grass (sedge?) you could easily miss it as I did earlier in the day. Not much else to add to Jan's report except for a Louisiana Waterthrush singing in the boardwalk area as I was heading out in the middle of the day.
