My morning began early while pulling purple loosestrife for a biocontrol 
project.  A glorious morning on McDonald Road (well just off in waist deep 
water) in the Navarino State Wildlife Area.  I had at least 6 different 
American bitterns calling at once!  In addition, there was a least bittern, 
soras, and Virginia rails that could be heard in the distance on a still 
morning.  I also heard/saw my first swamp sparrows of the year.  Psyched to be 
forced to have field work during the upcoming migration.  Let's 
see...curly-leaf pondweed surveys anyone?
