Early morning sighting by a hunter
Account
The witness went alone to hunt rabbits along a flood-control dike in the early morning, then hid to wait for doves. He heard splashing to the south and watched a distant creature standing in the stream, splashing water and briefly rising on two legs to look and smell before resuming splashing. He tried to approach from downwind via the north and a cliff overlook, but the creature was gone when he arrived.
