Field Notes -

The famous rarity staying for a second day at this location. (I returned the next day to get a better picture, not far from the location).

Phone/binocular photos.

The bird had good cover, appeared healthy and seemed to be finding plenty to eat.

It was kind-of behind a flower, so the shots are pretty bad, but recognizable nonetheless I think.

I got to see it flying too.

Continuing male, well known locally.

on poison ivy

It made an egg cocoon for its babies and the webbing was green. Unlike it’s normal transparent web.

On our parsley

It's been seen here the past day or two.
