My lifer was at that spot just before sundown 6/5/05. They are notoriously
hard to see. Listen to a tape before you go, and once you hear them don't
look away. The flights can be extremely short and low, but while they
vocalize they might move several times. I waited about 2.5 hours this year,
but I think someone else got them in about 15 minutes. Good luck!

Subject: [Va-bird] RFI: LEAST BITTERNS at Dutch Gap Conservation Area
Greetings all,
We are planning to come up to see the Least Bitterns tomorrow (sat. 6/25)
Due to another activity, it might be easier for us to look for them in the
afternoon (4ish).
Has anyone seen them late in the day? Is it likely?
Thanks for any guidence.
Cathy and Terry Bond
Williamsburg Va
