Bittern Birdseye Boat Ramp, Stratford 12/2/15

Found the continuing American Bittern this morning (12/2/15) at Birdseye Boat Ramp in Stratford around 7:30 AM along with Ed, Donna, and Russ.  It was then in the north side ditch (and in the culvert pipe that feeds it); Later returned with Char, and watched it closely in north ditch until it flew to south ditch (seen well there too), and finally when it flew into north marsh.  Photos below; also, a photo of one of the 5 American Coots hanging around: remarkable rear ends!
