Observation details

In Pottowataomie: While standing at an open spot along the water north of the pond, I heard the bird calling from the exact location of the checklist pin. I spun around and saw something take off from the cattails, but it quickly disappeared over the edge of the other side. I did not get a good look at the bird, but I heard its distinctive harsh, agitated call. I walked down the side of the water until just north of the wooden platform and spotted the bird sitting on a small patch of reeds. I later found that the bird was perched in Riley Co. In Riley: After locating the bird I moved up the bank and sat on a large log near the water's edge. I lifted up my camera but the bird disappeared back into the reeds. I then softly played the LEBI song from my phone, and moments later, it appeared on a neighboring grass clump where I was then able to snag some photos. (39.249716, -96.591252)
