Least Bittern: 3 nests with 14 eggs but no sight nor sound of adult
except 1 female on nest, have heard Least Bittern only once this spring.
Green Heron: 1 or 2 always at north end, between gravel road and tracks, for
more than a week; good area to look for nest or young
Blue-winged Teal: 6-10, appear to be paired, look for nest(s), but unlikely on
the lawn where last year's nest was, mowed recently
Osprey: 1
American Coot: 2 staying very close to south side of gravel road, lok for nest
Virginia Rail: heard none the entire time until just before 12 played a
recording, got an answer.*
Sora: flushed 2 or 3*
* All recent days Virginias and Sora have been very vocal, never more than a
few minutes between sounds; today same weather but no sounds except one
Virginia Rail sound in response to a last minute recording.
