Yesterday afternoon (around 4PM) I could not find the bird at the usual spot (medium sized pond with many dead trees). So I went north to look for it on the much larger lake just a few hundred yards away, where there were many geese, coots, widgeons, and at least a few Wood Ducks. While standing there I saw the BBWD in flight, heading east as if to cross Hwy 169. Rather than cross the highway it apparently circled around south and west, because when I returned to the dead tree pond it was there. So it appears that the bird also spends some time on this larger lake.
