Around 2:00 PM while folks were standing on the bridge next to the train station many observed the bird flying upstream. So we all moved up stream to continue the search. Around 2:15 PM we observed the bird walking along the edge of the creek. Within several seconds the bird took cover under a fallen live (small) Eucalyptus Tree. This tree's green branches covered the steams edge and extended out into the water. We were convinced the bird would re-appear out from under cover. Within 45 minutes the bird did pop back out. It soon ran back under the branches. Some of us were eyes could follow its movement as we looked through the leaves as the bird walked along the damp ground under the cover of the branches. And once again it came back into view and all of us had great views and watched it grabbing goodies to eat. The was the part of the creek near the play ground and the airplane. Along this area of the creek there is some debris hanging from the shrubs near the creeks edge. This debris proved to be a white papertowel. All this observing took place from the trail . There was no one in the water flushing the bird.
