American Bittern Update

[Egret]

The Bittern was last recorded on Ebird by Aaron Driscoll on Saturday at 4:15 pm. I saw it earlier and returned at 5 to try for a photo. I did a quick lap around the lake Monday at 4:15 and today at 1. I did not see it.
It has been on Memorial Lake in El Paso county.

We went down Sunday morning to try and see it, but the freezing 100mph wind squashed any enjoyment in being there.  We did search the S end of the lake without success.  I'm guessing that bird pulled up stakes due to the weather before we ever got there.

I did on Saturday see it fly from the south end of the lake to the north end and land.  It was around the larger green bush slight the the east of the sawed down almost the ground tree stump milling around the shore close to the bush.  It did get in the bush and hide out.  Last we saw it there until the other birders saw it around.  It could have left or might have went back to that bush.
