Meadows on Memorial Day: Least Bittern, Gull-billed Terns

"CMBO Morning Meadow walk with Pete Dunne. Numerous waders including Green, Little Blue, Tricolored Herons, and a fly across Least Bittern, which gave us a fairly good look before disappearing into the cattails. Several Lesser Black-backed Gulls were found as well as 2 Gull-billed Terns."
