I went right back out.... As of 2 PM the bird was still at the small man made pond on Boiceville Rd, having been seen and photographed by a number of people. This is a beautiful breeding plumage bird that is very cooperative, coming and feeding within 20 yards of people at one point. Aside from the "birding community" there were at least 6 people who lived right there that got very good views and were interested in it. Thanks Steve for finding and posting this wonderful bird! Also there were Killdeer, a Spotted Sandpiper, and 3 Least Sandpipers that I didn't notice until they finally flew. The pond itself is only about 3 weeks old. I spoke with one of the contractors there and he said it is only 2 feet deep at it's deepest. As much as I regret what had been a great field for Woodcocks and field birds becoming a small development, it seems the pond has at least some potential......
