I just came back from almost week in Florida sampling in the = Everglades. On the airboat out to one of the sites, I saw many Least = Bitterns and they all flushed from either the noise or the speed of the = boat. Rarely do you get to see them while waiting. Also, last year Jane = and I were canoeing with Sue Hamilton in Parker's Creek and flushed 2 = Least Bitterns as we rounded a bend. We weren't moving at blazing speed = but we surprised them.

From all these reports were they "heard only" or seen? Any tips or pointers on how to find LBs and where to look when in appropriate habitat would be appreciated.
