- Comments: "continuing bird re-found today by Bob O'Neil.  Thanks to Tripper for getting word out.  Initially seen by only a few, then as we were giving up, Tom and I saw a flock of blackbirds flush over the penna lawn with GOS in pursuit. First looks was very brief, pointy wings, long tail, pin-head.  Gos pursued blackbirds over lake and almost out of sight on the far side, behind trees, before returning, flying almost right over our heads, at which time the full-body streaking was evident.   At almost the same time, two other groups, one on Neathermead, and one by Feeders, saw the same action as the bird circled in his pursuits."
