The aforementioned Wednesday (12 Oct) outing lead by Susan Hoyle 
and David Trently was SUCCESSFUL at finding the SAGE THRASHER.
I forgot to do a count but somewhere around 15 people were able
to see the bird.  

It didn't take too long to find the bird though it involved wading
through some nasty briars.  More than one of us paid for the lifer
with blood.  Once found, the bird was perfectly content to sit low
in a tree and let all get great looks through the scope.  We had 
the bird for almost 1 hour and it was still sitting there when we
left.

I'm downloading pictures now, not sure how good they will be.  Ron Hoff
was able to get some digiscoped shots as well which will probably
be better.  I will try to get a website up later today and will 
post to the group when I do.
