I must have just missed seeing Scott.
I toted a ladder to the viewing site, as previously described and before
I climbed it, I scanned and saw the bird! Exciting! Seen off and on til 7:20, when I had to leave. Some appearances were brief, others up to a minute.
So I suggest bringing a ladder. Today it functioned more like a good luck charm than a portable, climbable platform.
Many thanks to David Wade, the gallinule whisperer, for finding it and to all who posted updates.
