- Comments: "From a paddleboat! Very good looks, albeit brief, of a bird perched three quarters of the way up in the phrags just east of where the sculpture was. Classic LEBI crouch position. Buff colored bird with a dark cap and back. As I went for my camera, the bird flew west to the group of phrags nearest wellhouse drive. We had to return the boat and didn't see the bird again, or sign of a second one. "
