Observation details

Has been in area since at least May 22. This was my 5th time looking for it. Remarkably, it did not flush as I approached. I was on the path far enough from the water that I was not perceived as a threat. I enjoyed a full hour watching it forage, eat a frog, preen, then tuck a leg and rest.
