Janna Pauser and others had relocated the bird about 7:15 near the second bridge, but that was a momentary sighting. At about 7:30 the bird was found upstream from the first (RR) bridge, where it did everything: tail-bobbing, feeding, bathing, fly-catching, while turning often enough to allow everyone present to see the bird from all angles. It stayed in easy view for almost fifteen minutes. Later, those who lingered got to hear it traverse both sides of the bridge as it searched for a place to roost; its sharp "chip" remained audible from about 7:55-8:10pm. These were among the best views anyone has gotten - regrettably, there were no photographers amongst us. In fact, the views were so good that a spirited discussion ensued about the coloring on the flanks - described as buffy by some, yellow by others, with "buttercup yellow" winning out over "golden retriever buff" and "orangy-yellow." In any case, the color of the flanks was more prominent than anyone had anticipated from looking at field guides. The lucky eleven birders were Janna Pause, Andrea Vedanayagam, Chuck Tralka, Chris Carpenter, Mark Miller, Nancy Ruhle, Cheng, Dan Wyman, Richard Jeffers, and Peggy Macres and me.
