Index of Subjects Thank you to Richard & James also, from myself & Bernard Forsythe. Following James' directions, it took about 2 minutes to find the bird around 7 PM. It was a bit further to the left (N), on a small island that has one significant elderberry bush, in bloom. It caught at least one large frog & ate it in pieces. I wouldn't say it was hunting all that seriously (lots of food). Also, lots of walkers not that far away & no signs of nervousness. I got some nice photos: http://rickwhitman.smugmug.com/Nature/Birds-April-June-2012/22243788_LGxpGV#!i=1849395048&k=G8DDhfG There are at least 2 Sora in those 2 ponds.
