Phil, Thanks for posting the list of birds you saw at Flag Ponds on Saturday 4/17. I will add it to my database. I've never seen or heard a Least Bittern there so will be listening very hard when I go there next week. Alas, it will probably be too late. Could you tell me where you heard the sound coming from? I've taken to wearing Wellingtons in order to walk the lower trails or I would not be able to get to the observation blind or Todd's Pond. I'm surprised you didn't hear any Wood Thrushes as they arrived back around Thursday. Arlene ///////// | || Arlene Ripley | 0 || aripley@nestbox.com | || http://www.nestbox.com ||
