For those of you planning on going for the bird this weekend - Rt. 9W is a busy road. For your safety, please stay off the shoulders of the road. There are enough very good viewing spots out of harm's way. The folks at the Sunoco Station/XtraMart and the auto shop just north of them, have been gracious "hosts", allowing parking on their premises (dropping a dime for coffee and/or a snack wouldn't hurt...) plus the first driveway on the east side of 9W just after the Thruway exit are all great spots to watch the bird. If you go into the XtraMart, make sure you tell the clerk why you are in the area.
Some of my pix of the bird can be seen at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/birderlarry/ Happy birding!

Does anyone know whether the bird was seen today? I am sure other birders would also like an update. Thanks to Rich Guthrie and company for keeping everyone apprised of the birds status.
