After I posted this I saw on Ebird someone posting they saw it ten minutes
after I left. I went back and looked again from 10:30-11:00 and still did
not see it. Also besides that one one post in Ebird no other postings were
made on Sunday. A few people I talked to on my second visit also had not
seen it. A couple from Nebraska had come down for it Sunday morning but
also no luck. My impression was during its stay for the 9 days or so it
stayed near the pond. One lady said once it perched on top of a Purple
Martin house irritating the Martin residients. So on my second pass around
the pond I looked at anything it could stand on and no luck. Also checked
the smaller pond on the north side.
I suspect it has moved on, hopefully heading back home or at least to a
larger lake with more fish. If you are on Ebird watch for any postings.
Sunday was the first day besides that one there was not a steady stream of
entries.
Good luck,
Steve Griffaw
