I may try for it - this is a species I've had a hard time finding. I had one pointed out to me in - of all the crazy dates - August 1970 at Bombay Hook. I would be in doubt too if it hadn't been Jackson Abbott and Phil DuMont who showed me the bird. Since then, nada! Tom Stock Silver Spring PS Sorry for calling you Frank in my first query!
