The Cattle Egret was still present at 8:00pm at the Bloomington Ice Gardens, in the same wetland previously mentioned by Ben. It was just about in the middle of the pond in a shallow spot with a few cattails. I also heard an American Bittern calling on nearby Marsh Lake. To get to the bittern spot, take the well maintained trail heading north out of the Ice Garden parking lot. Not more than 100-150 ft north of the parking lot, a small less maintained footpath heads off to the west. That footpath takes you to a nice vantage of Marsh Lake, ending on what looks like the remnants of an old dock platform. The last couple feet require some careful steps or a soggy shoe. The bittern was calling off to the north of the old dock platform. Thanks to Ben for the report!
