For what it's worth, I did NOT see the Common Gallinule today at Running Deer Natural Area. The area of open water amid the cattails that it frequented a few weeks ago is still visible. I watched from about noon until 2pm. It could very well still be present, as it was never easy to see.

Other birds were:

Lark Bunting (11), quite a surprise flying about in the area of rabbitbrush e of where we all stood for the gallinule sightings.

Snowy Egret (39), mostly spending time in Artist's Point Pond within Cottonwood Hollow NA w of where the gallinule has been but a few small flocks worked their way east into Running Deer NA, including the gallinule wet spot.

Great Egret (1)

No Green Herons today but they are probably around.

Barn Owl (at least 4 young in the area where they have been reported)
