Just got a report from Deborah Swamback (with photographs) of a Sage Thrasher at Watch Hill, Fire Island. The bird was on the ground around the eastern most Ranger house, where the path from Davis Park turns towards the Watch Hill Marina. Approx (40.6901191, -72.9897355)
Watch Hill is accessible by ferry near the Patchogue LIRR station. Or from Davis Park, ferries to Davis Park also run from Patchogue https://www.davisparkferry.com/dp-schedule Good luck if you go.
