We visited Rainbow Haven this afternoon, and scared up an Am. Bittern in 
the marsh between the 2 parking lots (inner & outer).  It flew farther 
into the marsh, where we could just see its head and neck sticking up 
out of the long grasses.  4 Red-br. Mergansers, and 8 Gr. winged Teal 
were also in this marsh with a number of Bl. Ducks.

The Gt. Egret is still there - we saw it in the salt marsh along the 
road to the Skeet Club.

There was also a male N. Flicker eating Bayberries in the dunes by the 
beach, about 70 Bl.-bellied Plover, and some smaller shorebirds 
(un-IDed), 4 Bonapartes Gulls and about 35 Horned Larks on the shore 
along the inlet from the beach
