Rick and others,
 
Sorry for the brief message but I was on site and emailing from the  
Blackberry at the time. Fort Armistead Park is at the foot of the Key Bride on  
I-695 at the city/AA County line (DeLorme 58 C3). Take I-695 to Exit 1 and  
turn left (east) on Hawkins Point Road. After the road bends right, take the  
exit on the right to Fort Armistead Road. Follow this road to its end at the 
 parking lot in Fort Armistead Park. The bird was intially found by Keith 
near  the T-shaped fishing pier and nearby metal breakwaters. It then worked 
its way  to the left along the seawall and briefly disappeared into a long 
narrow inlet  that parallels the base of the bridge. After a short time we 
relocated it  along the seawall, swimming toward the pier. After a brief time 
near the pier  it again swam left toward the inlet. These locations are no 
more than a few  hundred yards apart and the bird was never very far out.
 
Good luck to chasers, and a big thanks to Keith for another great  find!

Could you provide more info as to where Ft Armistead is please (county,  
near what main roads,etc.) Some of us are clueless unless you provide at  
least some basic info...
