I stopped by on the way back from a BNS tree identification field trip and got a good view of the bird, courtesy of some people who already had spotting scopes on it, and were also puzzled by its "non-bean" appearance. I was about to leave when Richard Stern showed up, and the bird was considerably closer at the point. When I left he was taking pictures. I'll leave early for work and go via Dyke Road, the Chester Road and pop in on College to see if anything unusual shows up in the morning, and send a note out when I get in to work.
