I arrived at about 2:15 and was met shortly thereafter by Patty Craig. The birds were there until at least 3:30, when we went to bird elsewhere at the Elms. There were only two while we were there. I have some very poor cell phone photos, but Patty got some much better ones. Head's up to anyone considering a chase...when we left at around 4:15, we were followed by a park employee who was locking up for the day, so access will be limited.
