- Comments: "*Scarce migrant regionally, rare in the park, but my third here in the past couple years. Pier 1. Initially on the bridge lawn/turtle pond border, viewable from lawn side. After being MIA there for 20 minutes, I walked the path between turtle pond and the dark forest, and found it walking across the concrete path in the dark forest. It then frequented either side of concrete path and muddy area between turtle pond and northernmost bridge, depending on where most recent passerby had flushed it to. Photos, video."

Clever man is a chicken; it can fly, but a little. Genius, on the other hand, is a migratory bird; it can fly at high altitudes until He disappears on the horizon!
