Observation details

Flagged rare. One day wonder, June 16. There is no water and therefore no breeding habitat here for a least bittern. This was either a late northbound migrant or an early southbound (failed breeder?), or a bon-breeding bird (but this was a crisp looking male). It seemingly stopped for a drink at an ornamental fountain. Was observed for 30 minutes and flew off. Not seen since, and that 12 days ago. Private property, absolutely no access.
