As of noon today, the Brant was still present on Lake Wausau off of D.C. 
Everest Park / boat landing on the north end of the lake. The Brant has kept to 
itself all the while we were watching it. It was seen in the area east of the 
Great Blue Heron rookery, but would also be seen on the west side of the 
rookery resting up on an old muskrat mound. You'll need a scope to look for 
this bird as it is out some ways on the lake. This is a new county bird for me, 
but not a lifer or state bird. Also present on the lake was about 20 
Bonaparte's Gulls that were probably birds left over from this last Saturdays 
massive flock of several thousands of Bonaparte's that spent the day on the 
lake. One Forster's Tern was also resting with the gulls too.

I'll see if I can make it to Everest Park tomorrow morning to look for the 
Brant again. I'll post if I see it or not.

Good luck to anyone who comes looking for this bird today. I hope it stays 
around for other to see it.
