Great shots, Scot. I'm going there today (4/9), hoping to find the caracara. A bittern would be nice, too.

Thanks Sharon & watching the Least Bittern stretch its neck is an amazing thing.....it seems to at least double its length.

Great shots Scott. I had no luck getting the Leasts to come out in the open on my trip. It is an amazing place for variety. Next year I'd like to go in late March / early April.

Thanks Steve, we were fortunate to get a lot of unobstructed views of the Least Bittern, but not the American. We were there the second & third weeks of March & it seemed like the perfect time to be there.
