This morning a Least Bittern was found in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park,
Summit County, in a marsh south of Station Road. It's call was heard from a
phragmites patch about 30 feet from the railroad tracks, and listened to by
the three of us for a good 10 minutes. We played it's recording as well to
compare.



Also found in the area was an Alder Flycatcher, 3 Canada Warblers, 2
Mourning Warblers and a Common Nighthawk perched on a snag that overlooked
the bittern's phragmites patch.
