I received word from Dave Taft and Jen Nersessian, both of Gateway NRA, that they had the Northern Wheatear from 4-5:30 PM on both sides of the inlet to the salt marsh at Plum(b) Beach in Brooklyn. The bird first perched on a derelict boat on the north side making short forays and flew to the south side where they later refound it at the edge of vegetation.
It's worth trying for this bird again tomorrow.
