Beginner's luck it seems. Rob Hilton robert@csa.com Bethesda At 02:02 PM 7/26/00 -0400, you wrote: >Charlie may have a point about the rapid approach to seeing Least Bitterns. I just came back from almost week in Florida sampling in the Everglades. On the airboat out to one of the sites, I saw many Least Bitterns and they all flushed from either the noise or the speed of the boat. Rarely do you get to see them while waiting. Also, last year Jane a= nd I were canoeing with Sue Hamilton in Parker's Creek and flushed 2 Least Bitterns as we rounded a bend.
