    Details

    Exact count. Photographed extensively, will post. Small bitterns showing greenish brown and white plumage. Flushed out of small patch of open trickling water. My first winter record(s)! One flushed from the edge of the open water trickle, and another pursued it up into the phragmites. The first individual stayed clinging to the phrags long enough for a lot of photographs. Incredible.
