Friday 7am , I waited to the gate to open at Piney Run. drove to the boat and parked. Scanned the shore and lake for the Brandt without luck. After a brief walk along the bank to scan the various flocks on the water I returned to the boat ramp to find the Brandt grazing on the bank next to the ramp. He was still there at 7:40am posing for photos by a park employee.
Thanks to Rick for posting that he was still there yesterday afternoon.
