226. Least Bittern

Date         June 8, 2011
Location    Wetland's Park Nature Preserve, Las Vegas, NV




All those hours carefully listening to his calls, comparing it to the cuckoo's, paid off. Right at sunset, I heard the "cu-cu-cu-cu-cu" breeding call in one of the little marshes. Magical.

It was already fairly dark, and the marsh was quite shadowed, so I had no expectation of actually seeing him, but it was positive ID.
