[nysbirds-l] Mecox Wilson's Phalaropes Yes; Gilgo ST Flycatcher No (not yet)

The Scissor-tailed Flycatcher vanished before we got there, and a quick search by Bob, Sarah, Ken & Sue Feustel, Pat, and I did not produce it. There was a hint of overhead movement east to west, including a very unseasonal Pine Siskin, so I think it might pay to search any and all vagrant
