[SBB] Solitary Sandpiper/Amer Bittern

[[[email protected]]]

This morning (Sun, 9/18) around 8:30 am the SOLITARY SANDPIPER was seen  
again on the marshy mudflats of the Guadalupe River channel north of the Coleman  
Rd bridge.
 
An AMERICAN BITTERN was also seen a bit further downstream in the  reeds.  
Also in the same vicinity a not-so-common COMMON MOORHEN  was seen.  The Sora 
was not seen at this time.
 
The best viewing for all these birds was from the east side of the river -  
not from the SCVWD side.  The birds were located along the west side  of the 
river but could not be seen from the west side because of heavy  vegetation 
obscuring the mudflats.
 
Three of us were present to view these birds at this time -  Vivek Tiwari, 
Mike Mammoser, and myself.
 
It seems that lately this short stretch of the Guadalupe River is  
experiencing a "Patagonia effect".
