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.

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.

I did on Saturday see it fly from the south end of the lake to the north
end and land.  It was around the larger green bush slight the the east of
the sawed down almost the ground tree stump milling around the shore close
to the bush.  It did get in the bush and hide out.  Last we saw it there
until the other birders saw it around.  It could have left or might have

We went down Sunday morning to try and see it, but the freezing 100mph wind 
squashed any enjoyment in being there.  We did search the S end of the lake 
without success.  I'm guessing that bird pulled up stakes due to the 
weather before we ever got there.
