I can assure you, from the shade of red of my eyes, I could not find the
American Bittern as of 1330 today. I looked for 2 hours. The winds were
calm, so the cattails were still. The east side of the marsh is being
dredged, and they are doing road construction on MLK Blvd. If anyone gets
on it
The Bittern was last recorded on Ebird by Aaron Driscoll on Saturday at 4:15
pm. I saw it earlier and returned at 5 to try for a photo. I did a quick lap
around the lake Monday at 4:15 and today at 1. I did not see it.
It has been on Memorial Lake in El Paso county.

The Boulder Bird Club observed an American Bittern today at 11:25 AM. It flew
out of the cattails on the south end of the marsh (parking lot side) across to
the edge of more cattails on the south east side.

An American Bittern was calling Friday evening at Reservoir Ridge, after
7:30pm. Possibly earlier but it was windier earlier. I heard this same bird
(presumably) LAST Saturday, also in the evening. It had been previously
reported on eBird by other birders who may or may not follow COBIRDS.

American Bittern is not normally considered rare and on the RBA.
But the recent report of one in Archuleta county was a first for the
county so I included it on the RBA. When a bird is a new county
record and I know it, then I include it on the RBA and indicate it is
a country record. We do have
I saw that the American Bittern was on rare list for Colorado. I was
photographing at Walden Ponds on May 12 and was able to photograph two
American Bittern. I have not been there since that day. They were
photographed at the Osprey nest of Walden Ponds.

Lifer! I heard and saw an American Bittern at Sawhill Ponds this
afternoon. First I heard the gulping and then I saw the bird standing on a
little hillock. When you park at Cottonwood Marsh it was at the 2nd pond
on the left as you walk past the sign for Sawhill Ponds.

I managed to miss everything of note Cathy found at Crow Valley but did hear
and see the American Bittern in the flooded willows upstream of the campground.

Scott Rashid and I were quite surprised to see an American Bittern at Lake
Estes this evening. Fortunately a young fisherman asked us what that bird
was that had been standing in the same spot for an hour. It was standing
on the rocky east shore of the Big Thompson River as it enters Lake Estes.
Thursday evening Doug Kibbe and I stopped by Lower Latham on our way
to go owling and were rewarded with a First of the Season (FOS)
American Bittern, a lone Solitary Sandpiper, and a couple of American
Avocets. There were good numbers of Northern Harriers, but we didn't
spot any Short-e
Jenny Nehring, an experienced birder from Monte Vista, has reported an American
