Lyn just emailed me this:.....now that I have done further research...AMGP has
NEVER been reported in July or even in the first month of Aug in Seneca Co. I
think we need to go back tomorrow and chase that bird.
Maybe we can figure it out.

Location: Seneca Meadows Environmental Education Center from Black Brook
Road, Seneca County
7/10/10 This is a great locations but requires a lot of walking with almost
no shade so start early and or pick a day that won't be too hot. I think the
official opening is in August.
Notes: With Bob Guthrie ,Lyn Jacobs and Lynn Donaldson. We all had great
close looks at 3 Least Bittern that I called in, 2 Grasshopper Sparrows, and
the Virginia Rail. We found a flock of Bobolinks at the bench at the end of
the woodchip trail. We heard many Marsh Wrens calling from several locations
but only saw one. Savannah Sparrows are everywhere but we only found one Swamp
Sparrow. We were puzzled for awhile about an odd call and after some study
decided it was an American Golden-Plover which called repeatedly early from
near the parking area by Black Brook Road, Seneca County. If Lyn Jacobs also
posts I'm usually more conservative with my numbers. I think this is the best
location ever for Least Bittern.
