Thanks to Jay and Beverly for such quick contact letting me know about this bird. I spoke with Jay about the location last seen and walked the railroad tracks to the area. I walked down to the river via a vacant lot and walked 30 yards up stream and spooked it accidentally. I was hoping to get a photo I did not. The bird flew along the shoreline towards the I205 bridge. I had seen a large group of gulls along the shore at the bridge so it could be there. I spooked it at around 11:00 am. I parked near the Riverside Point condos then walked the tracks from there. I205 has a walking lane so there should be a way to get to the bird if it is there.

Thanks again to Jay and Beverly.
