I have two questions. First, a stupid question:

1.) How do "we" know that this is a CCLS? I ask not because I doubt
that it is, but because I'm interested in knowing. Peterson says the
best field mark is the tail pattern - is that how this bird was identified?

2.) Is it still there, and if I wanted to find it tomorrow, where
would be the best place to look, and when?
