Ok better directions. Park on 164th near Underhill Ave. Just south of that intersection on the west side of 164th enter the park where the guardrail meets the nicer metal fence. Follow that path straight west. The bird has been seen from the very first large tangle of invasive plants on the right to 300 feet west along the same east-west path.
It is foraging very low in tangles (often invisible) in the wind but will sometimes perch up cooperatively now that the north side of that path is getting some sunlight. A few were on site when I left at 10 am. No samples or vocalizations yet.
