Hi Tweets,

I just returned from the Tyndall Rd/Randolph Rd area and can report the
STFL is still present. The looks were very far away and unsatisfying for
observers, but the bird is still present. It appear that this afternoon the
best spot may be to walk down the fence line to the west by the bunkers as
indicated in prior posts, but I would watch anywhere in the general area.
The bird was observed around 12:00 noon on the far fence line to the north
of ML Industries.
We cannot compete with the Pink-footed or Bean Goose, nor the Black-tailed
Gull as far as observer numbers are concerned, but it appears that over 100
birders have made the trek to the area to try for this bird.

Good Luck
