Observation details
This is an exceptional sighting as it is only the 3rd county record for this species. This bird was seen well by multiple observers. This was an adult bird sitting on a tree branch approximately 30 feet off the ground. I would have expected the bird to be closer to the marsh, as it was at least a couple hundred feet away from water in the woods. We had severe thunderstorms in this area last night with very heavy rains which more than likely forced it down.
