Spotted the Least Bittern around 2:30 pm today at the lock along the south
end of the boardwalk.  Also spotted an American Bittern at the area just
north of the boardwalk.  Went to the far end of the little marsh stream
that leads to the north beyond the boardwalk and it was sitting on a log.
Great viewing.
