Least Bittern, Holcim Wetlands, FreCo

[mille...@aol.com]

This morning at Holcim I had a single look at a Least Bittern as it flew by me along the south shore of the marsh.  Later I heard a LEBI cooing a few times.  Same one I suppose.

 

Bad news at the wetlands!  The flooded Arkansas River has eroded away a large piece of its bank at the northeast corner and is within a few feet of breaking into the marsh.  If this happens the containment of the marsh will be lost and it will probably drain out when the river level subsides.  I hope I'm wrong.
