Least Bitterns near Center Point

[jimf...@myctl.net]

This morning from sunrise to 7 a.m.  I  saw a minimum of 2 LEAST BITTERNS at the marsh. I had a total of 3 sightings of flying birds, one being very high and heading south. The others disappeared into  the cattails as soon they landed. Also, I heard their song for a short time. All were on the east side of the road  and seen from the overlook.

 Also in the marsh are 4 juvenile American Coot and  a family of Blue-winged Teal.
