Clive,

Nice to have BB Plover, Dunlin and SB Dowitcher on same day in Montgomery!

In regards to the Least Bittern, does "top end" of the wooded 
impoundment mean near the open concrete culvert you cross as you head 
past the impoundments towards the river? I have heard Least Bitterns 
before but would like to try and add one to my "seen" list.

Also, what part of Sugarland Rd did you see the bobwhite? Is it possible 
it could be a wild bird with Sugarland Rd not being directly adjacent to 
either Izaak Walton or McKee-Beshers? Or did its roadside behavior 
suggest dog training "escapee?" I was excited a few years back when 
quail showed up at Blue Mash, but its seems like those birds have 
disappeared, like it is all over the county.

Thanks,
