Found the bird around 9:00an this morning. Marilyn Holden from New Westminster, spotted it perched atop a pine directly adjacent(east) to 6547 Ellis Rd. She called it out and I got an10 second look. Naturally, just as I reached for my camera the bird flew and entered the tree. About half an hour later I believe I saw it briefly on the ground on the west side of the house, but it was gone soon after. It was not seen again when I left at 10:30 or so. Doug and Marilyn stayed after I left.
