Tom--I saw it today at Bombay Hook from approx. 11:45AM until about 12:30PM.  
It was in Shearness Pool quite close to the road (near the parking area about 
mid way along the Shearness dike road) in a flock of about 10 Snowy Egrets 
and 2 Great Egrets. During this time about 10 birders saw it well. The flock 
then flew out into the middle of Shearness.  Its two head plumes and gray 
lores make it unmistakable.  It has also been observed from the Shearness 
Observation Tower.  Also, two Wilson's Phalaropes were at Raymond's Pool.
