Fran and I saw the bird fly south across the field across the road from the barred gate and land at the top of the trees bordering the parking lot for the nature trail there. We were able to see it only for about half a minute--long enough to verify the ID but not long enough to really enjoy it. The bad news is the bird then disappeared and we searched for about an hour and a half for it, to no avail. ================================= Norman C.
