Heydi Lopes & I waited out the morning's early downpour under the shelter at the end of the Peninsula. At around 8:15am, a few minutes after Heydi left to stake out the patch of phragmites by the edge of the Peninsula Meadow, I spotted the Least Bittern flying from Duck Island, west, passed the end of the "Thumb". I quickly called Heydi, who then watched it fly in front of her and into its preferred patch of phrags to her right.
I pedaled home, drenched, but happy.
