Just got a call from Tom Burke who indicated he and Gail Benson had the Ash-throated Flycatcher in the same location as earlier reported. Good luck if you go. Good and responsible birding! Andrew Baksh Queens NY www.birdingdude.blogspot.com

Michael McBrien and his mom showed up shortly after and I stuck around to assist in re-finding the bird. We put in almost two hours before rain and fading light put an end to our quest. During that time we did not see the bird. Other notable birds at Jones West End, included a *Ring-necked Pheasant*, 2 *Long-billed Dowitchers* on the grass next to the rest rooms at the Coast Guard Station and the continuing 2 *Marbled Godwits* at the spit.
