- Comments: "Seen flying from the pendulum while sitting on the boat ramp on the east side of the lake while waiting for the PROW to make an appearance. Seen only briefly, but clearly enough to see a large brown heron with olive legs. I lost it over the peninsula and could not refind it. TY Maddy for providing the approximate location where it was later refound!"
