There were at least 6 others (besides me) who saw it this AM (8-9 AM).
Still found on the northeast end of the pond, though when I left it had
flown to the northwest edge of the pond. If you are going to try for it,
be wary that its camoflauge is very good, and it likes to quietly feed in
dense tall grass. It may take some time if nobody else is out there.
