Hi birders,
Amy Bechtel was on her way home yesterday and made a quick stop at Blacks Creek. She found an American Bittern which was seen last month between June 15 & June 20 by Thomas Czubek, Kent Kleman, Jason Talbot, and Mark Selle. V likely the same individual. She said it was between the trees on the east side. Hopefully, it will be seen again; Amy & I will probably try later today. Amy saw several peeps also, so as we approach mid-July, they should be starting to come in more numbers soon.
