Lots of people out and about on this lovely Sunday afternoon. It was the first time I have encountered a line up to get over the Westham Island bridge. Lots of families going to the farms for their Halloween pumpkins. Reifel was equally as busy when I arrived to help out on the trails. While it was fairly quiet on the birding front, there was one bird that provided a little excitement for birders.
This American Bittern was providing good views along the west dyke. Usually a fairly secretive bird, it is always fun when you have a chance to see a Bittern in the open.
