I have not seen any reports of it having been seen past the sighting this morning. I went out and walked around for a couple hours, along with others. Perhaps the drier weather that should be the case tomorrow may have the bird out and about again.
I have posted a few more photos I got yesterday, to Flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/fisherkingbat/50517323698/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/fisherkingbat/50518045596/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/fisherkingbat/50518045416/in/dateposted-public Brian T.
