The Common Moorhen found by Cole Foster last weekend was observed feeding & preening in the open from 8:00 - 9:30am today, and was still present in the northeast corner of the marsh opening when I left. Directions: Park in the "Heritage Lab" parking lot, across county highway 14 from the entrance road for the Wargo Nature Center. This is north of Centerville and south of the overpass over 35W. Take the path heading straight east from the parking lot, when you come to a T intersection go right (south). Continue down this path, when you come to a path going northeast, ignore it and continue south. The path will eventually turn east, and there will be a large opening in the marsh to your left, this is where the Moorhen was observed. Also 2 Least Bitterns were calling from this marsh.
