YES Spotted by Terry McNeeley this morning just upstream from the original low-water crossing. We then drove to Saline Valley Drive and relocated him from that low-water crossing, just upstream from the original location. Note, if he's using that area he is almost always foraging from a branch that is lower than the opposite bank, which is probably why it took us 40 minutes to spot him this morning. If you go to the Saline Valley crossing, look downstream. He is favoring a perch on the right side of the stream just where the "rapids" begin.
