Observation details
Seen incredibly well. Lifer and an amazing bird. Waited for around an hour/an hour and a half. Watching (unsuccessfully) from up on the hill on the north side of the oxbow lake around 25 feet west of the bridge. Then it flew in onto the large logs on the north side of the lake underneath the hill where I watched it for around a minute before I moved to the south side of the lake and watched it chill in a clump of dead branches near the water. After maybe five minutes in flew to the south side of the lake where my view of it landing was blocked by bushes. Could not refind after. What a bird! Photos to come.
