WBF did, in fact, post this bird to their FB page. Unfortunately, because of the nature of FB, the post got buried pretty quickly when other posts were made after it, and it required a bit of effort to find it. The good folks that work there have enough on their plates already, and while they

Hi Ethan and all, I have checked with WBF in the past in regards to for instance Virginia Rail sightings. Am hoping to work out an agreement on heads-up notices in the near future. Chasing rare bird reports and celebrating successful twitches, becomes sour experiences when one afterwards find out
