The Limpkin continues as of Monday afternoon. I watched it forage for about
half an hour just outside Ball Field #5 outfiel (specifically here 42.074840,
-76.845742), working its way along the first-base side. It almost made it
to the main path between the parking lot and boat launch when a man
Reuben Stoltzfus just called. He’s at Myers Point looking at a swan near the
sandbar. Although Tundra Swan was reported there earlier today, it looks more
like a Trumpeter to Reuben due to to bill shape, head shape, and back shape. He
invites others to take a look.

Yesterday, Sunday 29 October, the Limpkin was reported flying E & S from near
the boat ramp across the Chemung river around sunrise to flee a Red Fox. But by
early afternoon it was photographed by several people within Pirozzolo Park
foraging for worms on lawns including baseball fields.
