Found earlier in the day by Chris Tomera and seen by many. Adult in transitional plumage. We were fortunate to get very close views later in the afternoon when she/he flew in closer to Riverlands Way. We could clearly see the yellow in the bill, which was blacker near the tip. The white ear/cheek patch was obvious. The back had gray feathers of non-breeding plumage. Molting seemed to be going on everywhere on the underparts of this bird, creating a messy mix of red and white coloration. We have poor photos of her, but they are good enough to identify her. We were only able to get a few flight shots.
