Great looks at American Bittern and King Rails at Huntley Meadows on Saturday morning. Also Sora, Wood Ducks, Green Heron, Coot, lots of turtles including Snapping, Green Frogs, bull frogs, water snakes . The Bittern was in and out of the reeds in the center of the board walk and did stay out in open for a bit. Several King Rails - in the center also and off the boardwalk past the observation tower; the second one was very close and wandered out in the open near a nesting Canada Goose. Of course I left my camera at home. Shiras Shiras Guion Laurel MD sguion@us.net
