If your birding interests span counties or include all of New York State, you definitely should subscribe to the New York State Year Needs Alert on eBird. You will get an email within minutes (if you select hourly delivery) when a species you have not yet had for the year is reported -- no waiting for eBird reviewers to verify the report. You can also, or alternatively, opt for Year Needs Alerts for your life-list needs.
In particular, the Sandy Hill Road Townsend's Solitaire also was reported on eBird on the 20th.
