I went to Phase III of Shelby Bottoms this morning looking for
sparrows. The best I could do was my first FOX SPARROW of the
fall season.
However, I made my usual quick stop at Walter S. Davis Blvd.
Marsh, which on the back side of the TSU campus, and found a
bird of greater interest. After I scanned the area for ducks,
I searched the reeds and discovered an AMERICAN BITTERN,
perhaps the same one that I spied here last November. As seen
from just off the road next to the small paved pull-off before
the metal guard rail, it was in front of reeds with a small
white sign and some orange and yellow earth moving equipment
in the background. I watched as it caught several fish and a
frog for breakfast.
