This morning I saw an Am Bittern at Community Park in Falcon Heights.
The park is at Cleveland and Roselawn and the bird was by the pond in
the SW corner of the park. It was in the cattails on the SE corner of
the pond, between the two wood duck boxes. I watched it for about 5
minutes and came by about 15 minutes later and it was still there.
Last year in early May there were up to 8 Soras and one or two Virginia
Rails here but have seen neither yet this year. Only other birds of
interest were a snipe and a small flock of White-throats, first time I
have seen more than 2 together this Spring. No warblers, only seen a few
Yellow rumps so far.
