Although the Say's eluded Chad Smith and I for over an hour after a brief look
early this morning, it put on quite a show for us mid-morning. I managed a few
decent shots of the bird hovering over the mowed grass by the tall kiosk and
just south of the long boardwalk/fishing pier that runs along the edge of the
lake. It consumed a couple caterpillars from the ground.
It did not respond to any playback, which we did a couple times to see if it
would respond (when the bird was nearby). Apparently the bird has been taped
out.
If interested, my photos start here:

Many thanks for everyone that posted about the bird still be seen (and to Susan
and Mac for finding it!). Wonderful bird.
Cheers,
