Hello all, Troy Shively responded to my post about the least bittern suggesting it was a green heron, which is what I had originally thought when it flew up from the reeds, but later checking books and online photos thought it more resembled the bittern...if anyone can let me know for certain I'd be greatful...thanks, Denny McDonnell Euclid ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
