Hi All,
Sorry, I assumed all had seen the earlier notification - it may have been
only on the Wisconsin birding pages of facebook.

The bird is on Iowa County D about .4 miles north of Pleasant View Road
(this is not too far southeast of Mineral Point).  If you prefer gps
coordinates, they are:
42.8471835, -90.073277.  If you see the coordinates on the eBird gadget on
iGoogle, I entered them wrong, and it put the bird in the south part of Gov
Dodge SP.  Please ignore that.  I corrected the coordinates, but it takes
some time to change on the gadget.  The coordinates above are correct, as
is the road location.  Please be persistent in looking for or waiting for
the bird to appear (usually on the telephone lines) -- we missed it until
we made our 3rd (and last before driving home) pass through the point.  It
seemed to be established in this location - we were able to watch it for
about 15 minutes.  Here are links to the best photos we got:

Best of luck!
