maintenance area on the right side of the parking lot.  It was found by =
Chuck Saleeby who quickly alerted the rest of us and most of the birders =
at KMT today were able to see this great bird.   The WIWA was in a big =
flock towards the bottom of the road, just past the monument.  What a =
fantastic day at KMT!  =20
