Observation details
Continuing bird well seen feeding in the weed patch and across the street moving from tree to tree before going to ground. Doc photos obtained from a distance. Upsetting to once again see several birder/photographers go to the other side of the weed patch and get to within 3 feet of the bird for photos, which resulted in flushing the bird. Incredibly selfish behavior, which obviously stresses the bird, but also prevented newly arriving folks from getting the opportunity to view this rarity. The vast majority of spectators were properly viewing the bird from the opposite edge of the weed patch and enjoying some great looks from a more than enough proximal position.
