Observation details
*** Very rare. Found by Chris Smith (Conservation worker) this afternoon, sitting in small pool along W edge of parking lot by dog walking area. First sitting and resting for a good twenty minutes, then began to walk around, nibbling on various plants, drinking, and bobbing their heads. Often became alert as people and dogs moved around area. Eventually spooked, and took off low to the west. Plumage was normal, had hind toes, flew easily, looked rather thin.
