Paul,
The Barnacle was not present when I arrived at Little Meadows this morning
at 7:00. I found it briefly a little later on a pond just off Rt. 40 near
Little Meadows. It did return to Little Meadows a bit later - perhaps
around 8:30 per phone calls I received from Aaron Holochworst [sp?] and
Mikey Lutmerding and JB Churchill. I returned and watched the bird on the
lake from 9:30 to 10:45 when I left. It was still there at that time. It
does, as would be expected, fly off the lake to presumably feed in
neighboring fields before returning to the lake. So hanging around to give
it an opportunity to return would make sense for anyone planning to chase
the bird. As has been noted, it is a very attractive bird.
