It's been spotted within the same 20 square foot area for the past 14-17 days or so...it's definitely been sticking around the same area...but not always the same perch. It's been spotted from early morning well into mid-afternoon, so it seems pretty readily available. Green Cay currently has one-way boardwalks for the pandemic - and there are two - the main boardwalk 1 mile loop, and the shorter 1/2 mile loop to the south of the nature center...the bird is spotted on the 1/2 mile loop. Take the loop all the way around until it enters the pine forest...keep going all the way through the pine forest...just before the ramp starts going down to meet up with the main loop at a T-intersection, the whip has been on the right side. Start looking as soon as the boardwalk bends to the right, just before it starts ramping down...and keep looking all the way to the end of the tree line. Every time it's been spotted, it's been on the right side - so that seems the most reliable place to look. This photo was taken exactly where the metal handrail starts to start ramping down - on the ground, about 12 feet away from the boardwalk. Hope that helps.
