I didn't find it. However I saw a pair of Spotted Sandpipers, a Purple Martin, and a Cliff Swallow. I was able to observe a Jumping Mouse at close range for abaout ten minutes while it feed in the mud. Also had a beaver swim by, I clapped at him a couple times to see if it would slap its tail, to my suprise a SORA called from near by in the marsh. Not what I expected, but a nice suprise. I'll have to try again for the bittern. Hans Holbrook Columbia, MD _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
