American Bittern reported first this morning, 24 Nov, by Ron Shrieves,
relocated by Bill Keeler and Laura Tappan mid-afternoon. Was found on
close side of lake, near top of path loop by the observation tower. Bird
was out in the open on top of a log, moved into reeds, but did not fly off,
when loud teenagers ran by.
