Thanks for posting this, John and Sue. This bird was first reported on August 6th by Dorothy Dunlap, who mentioned first seeing it the previous day and posted identifiable photos. I went the next morning and was able to scope it from the viewpoint at the south end, and got some better looks by boat. It seems to frequent the north end of that pond, often disappearing behind the trees into the northeast corner. Here's my checklist with some pictures: https://ebird.org/atlasny/checklist/S72183096
