Ever get the sense that someone's eyes are fixed on you? Today, we received a surprise visit from a curious onlooker who camped out nearby and watched our every move for over half an hour. Although he usually keeps his distance, perched on a tree in the marsh, this unannounced visit was positively eerie.
