I tried to see this rascal twice yesterday.  12:15-1:00 and 5:40-6:25.  The second time was with my son, who has never seen one.  Unfortunately I did not have any luck.  Both times I arrived right after it had been spotted briefly by others looking for it, then dissapeared.  I verified where it was seen (otherwise you could spend much time looking in the wrong area), and looked there carefully the entire time but it was very hot, and not much was stirring.  Oh well.   Just a matter of bad timing.
