Bird still there at 1:30. Park in Walker Island parking lot, were the gate to the campground is closed, and walk the gravel path that has yellow tubes on the cable that keeps cars out. Walk to where the tall brush is on both sides. Bird was working both sides with many Eastern Kingbirds . Bird was keeping very low most of time. There were also Bobolinks in the distance.
