My wife Jean and I rescued an American bittern from the St. Anthony Park community gardens, between Robbins St. and the railroad tracks, just west of Raymond Av. (Ramsey County). It had been seen in the area a week earlier and again yesterday by Sherman Eagles. It never showed any ability to fly. Today it was crouched in one of the garden plots, all fluffed up, looking as mean as it could, with that rapier beak aimed right at my eyes (I wore my protective goggles). I covered it with a towel and put it into a dog carrier. We delivered it to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center, Roseville.
