Unfortunately a man trying to get as close as possible to it for phone photos flushed it as I was arriving. It flew down 7th St. to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church cathedral lot where it disappeared into their garden beds. I tried to relocate it but never could. It’s in there resting somewhere. Hopefully settled in a spot with not much more human disturbance. One of a handful of fall occurrences for Oklahoma Co. Thanks to Ellie Howell for posting her initial observation on eBird shortly after 11am! I wish others could enjoy it.
