My Sightings

Date Location Note
Lake Seminole ParkBy the purple gallinule spot, stealthily hanging out in the reeds. Their camo is very impressive.
Lake Seminole@ Lake Seminole, by the fast food parking lot on the other side. I think it was a female or juvenile because it lacked the complete plumage that least bitterns have. It was completely still and very hard to see. A bit smaller than I had imagined. I have been looking for a Least bittern for a long time, I am very happy to have finally found one.
