From Roy Harvey with Many others: 07/12/14 - Sherman, Wimisink Marsh -- Two adult and three fledgeling American Bittern. First adult seen early (5:45 AM), first young one around 7 AM. Two of the young spend quite a while at the top of some cattails, but all eventually came down and started walking around the marsh edge. Adults were sometimes defensive for them, but eventually flew off leaving them on their own. I left around mid-morning. There were no later reports on the list but enough on eBird to indicate some later activity. From Robert Dixon: 07/12/14 - Sterling yard -- 46 species (juveniles of 18 species); EASTERN WHIP-POOR-WILL (calling at 4:30 AM), PURPLE FINCH (3), BLACK VULTURE (3).
