Wandering Tattler Still Present

["Matt DeVries" <birder1 at hotmail dot com>]

Pia and I snuck off to Antelope Island this afternoon to look for the 
tattler.  We drove along the pond at the marina and our onto the northern 
jetty without any luck.  As I was beginning to get frustrated, some canoers 
came by and flushed the tattler from the rocks just south of where the jetty 
heads off to the east (the northern extreme of the "pond").  This was at 
about 3:45.

It flew south and landed in the main pond area at the marina and was there 
when we left at 4:15.  It was working the shore line and blended into the 
rocks quite well.  I had trouble relocating it even when I knew where it 
was.

I think this was my first boater assisted state bird, generally I just curse 
them and wish they would go away.
