Finally got a chance to see the BBWD today.  The bird was still there and 
very easy to spot.  It stayed close to the bridge amid the other 
waterfowl, where people were feeding it bread.  The bird was also very 
easy to photograph.  We rented a pddle boat at the other end of the lake 
and paddled out to where the bird was.  We got some good shots that way.  
Aside from the BBWD, the other birds weren't that bad either.  Mainly 
commoners: mockingbird, house sparrow, grackle, mallard, Canada goose, 
robin, mourning dove.  Barn swallows were skimming for insects over the 
lake's surface and would fly under the boat dock.  Another cool bird was 
the Cedar Waxwing, several of which were perched in a tree in the parking 
lot.  Best wishes to anyone else who goes for the bird (if there is anyone 
who hasn't already seen it!).
