Observation details
First observation at 0918. 1 counted on property. Initially spotted near a very small patch of Typha latifolia along the N edge of one of the reach 3 ponds. As I approached closer, it moved up to the unburned segment of grassy bank about a meter above the water level, presumably because the emergent vegetation was not thick enough here for hiding. Did not vocalize. A definite unusual sighting here, though not unprecedented; all sightings so far have been sporadic and associated with these ponds. Presumably this bird is a transient, though the possibility of eventual breeding on the site remains open, especially as further stream restoration work may provide additional wetland habitat. Detections (number 15-minute intervals in which the species was detected): 1 on property.
