Least Bittern (Female)
Three out of four years since 2014, I have seen one Least Bittern in the same general location, twice in the Fall and this year in the Spring. Not sure if it is the same bird that keeps coming back. After waiting for almost half an hour I finally got him/her partially out in the open for a second; most of the time it was well hidden in the thicket, very well camouflaged. Originally I went to the park to participate in the Whimbrel watch which was complete bust during my entire stay. At least this Bittern provided much needed break from the monotony.
