I would counter that this bird is not “relatively easy to locate”. It
would seem that many observers’s comments (and my own experience) suggest
lots of scanning with a scope in really hot conditions, and a little luck
are required to find this bird. And that it can disappear from right under
one’s watch as you try to get others on it. Good luck to those chasing!
