Hello all-today a group of 20 or so hopefuls met at the  entrance of Oxbow 
Lake Preserve.  Our trusty guides, Marcy & Jay  explained that the Least Bittern 
hadn't been seen for a few days presumably b/c  of one or two large snapping 
turtles being in the area that probably ate the  chick(s).  So we walked the 
path to the right.  Then to the  left.  George Thomas spotted movement with his 
keen eye and scope, and  there it was, a male Least Bittern.  He remained in 
the area for quite  a while so that everyone was able to get a good look at 
him.  He was a life  bird for many, including myself.  
Thanks Marcy and Jay for showing us the spot.  
I figure Marcy will file a complete trip list on  ebird.
