The Eared Grebe was still in the dyke in Rumbly at around 7:20 am this 
morning (Saturday).  I also saw an American Bittern in the Marsh on the 
way out.  I spent about 45 minutes driving around Ennals Road, 
Petersburg Road, and Osborne Road near the Hurlock Treatment plant this 
morning trying to see if the Swainson's Hawk was still around but didn't 
manage to find it.  The intermittent rain probably didn't help.
