I followed it and it stopped at the pond in back of the Hampton Inn. I parked the car and looked for it and we surprised each other - I came up over a hill to stand only ten feet away from it! I've never seen a bird that big up so close (other than in a zoo). After this experience, I've decided I want a pair of binoculars for the car. My husband thinks I've finally lost my marbles - he thinks birds are boring. Oh well - it was a neat experience for me!
