I am told the avocet had flown by about 8:30 a.m., and had not been re-found as of early afternoon. Photos of this morning's bird (by Jim Bourdon) can be found on the Saw Mill River Audubon webpage at https://www.facebook.com/SMRAudubon I have also been told this is only the fifth Westchester County record of American Avocet and the first since 1997 (Croton Point had one other sighting in 1979).

Beautiful light. A great find by Chris Letts too bad neither of us had cameras. Certainly a first for me in Westchester County. Good luck if you go.
