Thank you Raul, for your great update on Green Cay! It does sound like you had a full morning following the birds. If you are after American Bittern, do keep Everglades in mind. There has been one or two along Anhinga Trail and I've spooked nearly half a dozen others up at random points along the park road.

I'm really glad to see several people providing updates on locations in the Southeast hope to see this continue. Thanks!!

HI Raul,

I have to take some time to visit that area in the near future. I thank you for taking the time to let us know!
