Observation details
Found the night before by Bill Gilmour! The bird was observed to go to roost and when we arrived there were about 20 birders already there on stake out. After about 10 minutes of waiting (at 6:25am) the bird announced its presence with its loud, unmistakable call as it flew from its nighttime roost to some dead trees just east of where we were all waiting. There it fed frequently (mostly/exclusively on wasps), often calling while in the air. Lots of photo and video was taken and reports will be submitted to the OBRC. First provincial record if accepted and perhaps the first record for eastern NA! Photos and details at mikeburrell.blogspot.com.
