Observation details
Heard north of Calidrid Crossing on the East Pond, calling from dense phragmites as we worked our way north along a muddy, flooded area of the eastern shore. Guttural, percussive croaking series heard multiple times, deceptively rail-like but vocalizing from well off the ground, at the height of the upper reed stems or adjacent low branches. Immediate impression of both observers in the field was Least Bittern due to sound quality and habitat, backed up by review of spectrogram and recording comparisons
