At 5:15 PM last night I refound the N. Mockingbird that Kristin Stewart had
originally spotted. It was in the same bush that she saw it in yesterday
morning. It stayed put for fifteen minutes, when I returned at 5:40 PM it
wasn't in sight.

Directions:
As you travel down State St. towards Olympia's downtown you will pass Fir
Street. Two buildings down on your left is the Olympia Transcription
Service, the bird is directly behind this building in the bushes running
perpendicular to State St. (I believe there is a handicapped parking spot
right next to the bush).

I would recommend parking in the residential areas across State, then
walking over and cutting through to the alley (as there is no public parking
area here). The bird was eating some unidentified black/purple berries,
probably an ornamental of some sort (although I'm not the best at plant ID).
There were no vocalizations heard, although it did "sneeze" a few times.
It would make a movement with the head, almost like it was trying to swallow
something, and then it would "sneeze"-something which I meant to look up in
Gill's Ornithology this morning, but forgot. Anyways, good luck and thanks
Kristin!!!
