I heard about the bird this afternoon and went over and saw it about 1, and it was still there when Becky Oberlander went over about 2 PM. The property owner, Kathy Bresee has given permission for people to come see the bird from the street. From Main Ave (after it turns and goes south) turn east at Oak Way by the hockey arena, then take the first left onto Birch Lane. The signs for Birch Lane and Birch Circle are on Kathy's corner. Her house is a light green. The bird has been feeding in her back yard. When I saw it this afternoon it first flew into her apple tree, then dropped down onto the picnic table and then into the blue plastic swimming pool that's under a feeder (she also has seed in the swimming pool and the bird liked to sit down in the pool and eat too). If you park on Birch Circle you can easily look into her backyard and use your car as a blind.
