Bob & Barbara Maxwell relocated the Murrelet this morning, at app the same
spot that it was seen yesterday. They have asked to post this notice. With
good views from shore and a 60x scope, they could determine that it had no
part of collar around the back of the neck. After about an hour of trying,
they located a person with a boat, who, for a fee, took them out towards the
bird, using a trolling motor to approach the area, By this time the bird had
disappeared, about 2 hours after it was first seen, and could not be
relocated even after an hour + of trolling, However, the field marks are
still consistent for a Long-billed Murrelet., and they are confident it is
still on the lake. Of interest, the Horned Grebes with which it was
associated on the 7th, and the 10th, were not in evidence.
