[cobirds] Trying to track down an eBird report of a "Mexican" Jay near Elbert

Does anyone know how to reach Jack Hambene, who posted a list on eBird including Mexican Jay,
found three days in a row, at the Sacred Heart Retreat House, near Elbert, Colorado?

He described field marks that could be compatible with an immature Western Scrub Jay:

"Large bird. Blue tail with no crown, uniform grey breast and head. Seen in scrub oak three successive days."
I could find no other notes or comments in the report, such as how similar birds were ruled out.

This would be a new species for the state of Colorado! Wow! (or not so much Wow).

I personally find it frustrating to notice this kind of report and not know how to track it down,
other than visiting the location, which is not near my home.
