I had the bird sitting on its old perch (the wooden frame on the south
side of the marsh) from 1:20 until 2pm, and then it disappeared again.
I'm wondering if it ever reappeared.
Checking with a couple of the many kiteboarders out there, I was told
that they had clocked the winds at 21mph gusting to 28. Where the bird
was sitting, it was probably somewhat protected, but we weren't.
