Got to Wake Robin before 7a today, before it got hot.  The museum's current
mechanical removal of large swaths of invasive Phragmites at the close end
of the boardwalk has facilitated great up-close views of both sora &
Virginia rail. Also sora at far end of pond for the scope-carrying. Marsh
wren present and got good view of willow flycatcher ("fitz-BEW' "),
a bird I usually only hear at wake robin. Saw the green heron or least
biTtern (not sure which) flying into the cattails, from where it continued
to call.
