[obol] American Bitterns

[Daniel Farrar]

Obol,
   During Marsh Bird Surveys this past May 4 07 I saw a "flock" of 4
Bitterns in the now burnt area of Fisher Butte (prescribed burn last week).
Later that evening upon returning I flushed 7 birds at once from the same
area.  I thought I had posted this but can't find the report.
Four WAS the most bitterns I had ever seen together. That is until that
evening.
I did not have any other sighting like this the remainder of the breeding
season.
