A group of around 40 (likely more) enjoyed numerous good looks through the mid to late afternoon. Thanks to all who put the word out. Will try to get a picture posted later

Got decent views today but the sun blew out many of the photo ops.  Bird #400 for me (worldwide)

Thanks for your report Elias, I managed to get there shortly after 4 and got some excellent views of him flying and catching insects. What a gorgeous looking bird and a life bird for me too.
