Brian, the bird was found today by a friend of mine from the United Kingdom at about noon for less than a minute. I recieved the phone call at 12:40, and Andrew Dohrn found the bird in the vicinity of where I found the bird. Andrew said
the bird was feeding on an insect in a low brush until flushed by him. The bird was not vocal. The bird also appeared to have a dis-placed down feather on the breast. To see the bird you must walk off the path east into an area with a heavy amount of "byrds" (the plants and their seeds which attach to shoes and clothing).
