There were several birders on the alvar today looking for the Say's Phoebe. To my knowledge no one found it by the time I left at 2 p.m. I searched Shrike Road end to end, McNamee Rd end to end and Wylie Rd as far north as the marsh.
There were at least 3 shrikes in 3 known locations, many snipe (winnowing), lots of Upland Sandpipers and the usual Carden niceties (bluebirds, thrashers, towhees, Field Sparrows, etc.) - lots of song. The alvar is just north of Kirkfield.
