Around 10 AMĀ  10-26-26 I met yesterday's poster of the */American
bittern/*, but neither of us could find it at the time.

I returned around 11:30 AM and was ready to leave when it was seen from
the bridge/culvert at the far end of the parking lot at Coast Casey.

First it was preening on the West side of the channel, then it swam
across to the East side and disappeared in the reeds.

Watched it with Caroline.
