07/13/2018 by Cattus Island County Park

06/29/2018 by Cattus Island County Park
Phragmites are too high to see the nest clearly. One individual is seen through the reeds, and calls repeatedly. It is unknown whether or not there was a second individual seen in the area, as visibility was not ideal .

Extensive calling is heard from the roadside. Female is seen in the nest, quiet and motionless during observation duration. Upon leaving the female calls again repeatedly. The perch pole is not visible from the current vantage point due to overgrowth of phragmites.

Male calls, possibly alerting to the observer's approach as direct eye-contact was perceived by the observer. Calls were loud and frequent from the male and were noted as the observer left the area for quite a distance. Nearby grasses make visualization of the area a challenge.
