Hi Ardith, I arrived around 2:15pm to Plum Beach after spending all the morning looking for the Say’s Phoebe that was not seen during that time (10AM-1:30PM). There were some birders around who said that the N. Wheatear had been perching on the wooden structure and on a nearby trunk for 30 minutes or so. After that the bird was seen flying once (around 3:30PM) but it was not located in any of the places where it had been seen perching before (including the graffiti boat). We left at 6PM without seeing the bird again.
