Birded SPCNP today from 12:00 to about 1:00. I was able to locate the American Bittern w/o too much trouble. When I was there, the bird was working the edge of the pond left of the observation tower past the magic tree. I got a better view by walking down the boardwalk and standing on the bench in the viewing area about 20 yards down the boardwalk. I was able to watch the bird for about 10 minutes, and then moved on. I recorded 33 species during my walk, including:

Fox Sparrow (3) - near the kiosk in some low scrub - great looks at these birds

Song Sparrow (1)

White-throated Sparrow (+)

Pine Warbler - heard several singing

Mallard (6)

Red-tailed Hawk

Cedar Waxing - several large flocks

Hermit Thrush (2)
