Except for a short excursion on Saturday to Lansing to the south, it was reported back at it’s favorite location, Bouy 49, yesterday. Best viewing seems to be from the east side from Town Line Road. This is a private road but some people have gotten permission to view from it. Check Cayugabirds for more particulars.
