Had no trouble spotting the =20 Y-H Blackbird! there is a path that goes aroundthe east side of the =20 pond that keeps you out of view. It stayed at the part of the pond =20 farthest from the main trail. When it did call it was like the sound =20 you would expect from a nasl parrot..... definitely not like tha of the =20= grackles that it was with Will have to bring binos and camera on Friday and hope it is still =20 there.
