A Life-Bird for me as I visited the Lorain Impoundments for the first time. I spotted the Least Bittern fly into the reeds. It stayed up for just a few seconds then was gone. Hoped for a better longer look, but oh well such is birding. Also saw: Dunlins Semipalmated Plovers Semipalmated Sandpipers Spotted Sandpipers Common Terns Green Heron Cliff Swallows and several other usuals Tom Fishburn "...unless you...become as little children..."
