Steve, I have pretty consistently heard the Moorhens and Virginia Rail all summer in Unit #1; heard lots of Sora in spring, after that I did not hear them (and don't remember reports from others) so with that large of numbers, I suspect they are returning. I too keep looking for Least Bittern at that location, but no luck.

I walked up to Columbia's wastewater unit #1 about 9:30 am. I saw single adult Common Moorhen at two different places. Heard quite a few Marsh Wrens calling. Heard 1 Virgina Rail call several times in the NE corner of the unit and a number, probably about 10, Soras calling along the east side. I wonder if they have recently arrived or had been there previously. Was surprised not to see any Least Bitterens in such good habitat. Drove through Eagle Bluffs before noon-very Hot and just the usual stuff. Did see 1 adult Eagle. Stopped at Rockbridge S.P. saw Wood Thrush and Black & White Warbler. Grand Pass C.A. Wed. pm on way down - not much positive to talk about -very dry with lost of farming going on. Stopped at shop/headquarters to inquire of Sandhills- door open- lights on- nobody home - so went on.
