A Least Bittern found by Rafael Campos on Sunday was seen again yesterday by Simon Taylor and again this morning by Alie Ratay, Mike Yuan, and me. The bird has been spotted flying between patches of phragmites along the southern edge of the peninsula meadow, most often between the patches just to the east and west of the mulched beach area where there was recently a temporary sculpture.
A Least Bittern was photographed by Donna Evans in mid-May close to this location, so it is possible it has been under our noses this whole time. -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
