I can assure you, from the shade of red of my eyes, I could not find the American Bittern as of 1330 today. I looked for 2 hours. The winds were calm, so the cattails were still. The east side of the marsh is being dredged, and they are doing road construction on MLK Blvd. If anyone gets on it again, please post. I live a short distance from there. Thanks.

I must've missed the report, nor can I find it. When/where? I also live just 'round the bend from there, and would like to get my girlfriend a shot at it. My once-ever Am. Bittern was a stroke of blind luck, and subsequent attempts to get her on one have been fruitless.

Hello,

Mesa Reservoir in Boulder had an American Bittern a couple weeks ago. To my knowledge, it is probably still there. Saw it around sunset.
