I saw a bird that fits Odette's description in October at the Cedar River
mouth. In addition to what Odette described the bird has yellow eyes. I
have some poor digiscoped photos here:

If you right click on an image and select "View Image" you can see the
photo at full size.

Odette has seen these photos and thinks it may be the same bird.

Does anyone have an idea what it is?

Thanks,
