When I got to the VA there were 2 VA police officers there. They did not want people taking pictures, but relented when I said it was a rare bird, pretty please. Yes, as long as the policewoman was standing right there and actually found the bird for me! The BIG Superintendent is apparently there, and they want no pictures of people taken. That said, very nice views of the very tame bird.Thanks to Scott Johnson for the alert!
In my pictures, which I will share when I get them downloaded, one side of the bird looked a little roughed up, and the leg on that side looked different-sort of scaly. Could it be injured? I don't know this species so have no reference points. It flew easily into a low tree.....
