This bird continues to be frustratingly unpredictable.. I watched it for
25' this evening. Sometimes it doesn't appear and others if you blink
you miss it. I have viewed it most often between 600 PM and 800 PM.

I would still appreciate any input on the plumage phase. My first
sightng was on June 20 but I think the bird was here earlier. I haven't
been able to catch it at eye level with my camera but the field marks
are generally more visible when viewing from level or above.
