While watching the Puritas wetlands last evenings from the W viewpoint I watched an American Bittern fly in from the S. I believe it landed in the smaller pond right next to the McDonalds on Puritas, although it could be just across the industrial parkway in the wetlands proper, as I could not relocate this master of camouflage. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
