This morning was my first chance to look for this bird since learning about it. I went there around 7AM and did not find it. (Not a strong indication that it is gone, rather that the guy with terrible eyesight doesn't usually locate too many silent, drab birds...) I will be watching eBird today and this list - hopefully if anyone re-finds they can post with some details as to where it is at now.
