Observation details

Continuing mega rarity originally discovered by Jeanette Sloper on 11/18. Awesome. First observed from skateboard park around 2:50 perched on a post in the Dole plant, then flew off to commerce street. It perched there for several minutes before flying back and forth a few times, then flying off again to the southeast. Tried to relocate with other birders from skateboard park, to no avail. It’s got squatter written all over it so good luck to those who had to dip! Photos
