While many have seen this rarity I presume others may travel some distance for a good look.
While it is seen in various locations in the morning (often on the N end of lake (opposite Kaiser) perched). It does seem to disappear between ~12 and ~2-3. It is presumably on the east side of the lake, perhaps over the golf course or resting in a tree. I was there today between 12 to 1 and walked over to the golf course area across the dam at the south end. There are a few places where one view into the course areas. No luck.
However the bird seems to reappear after 3, for about an hour, hunting along and over the trees on the eastern shore with often a brief visit (presumabaly to provide great views to birders) on the west side fishing decks opposite Kaiser, off Vermont.
I posted at the link below a 2+ minute video, from Friday June 13, of it hunting along the east shore of the lake at Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park, taken from the west shore.
