I drove back up to upper Fred Co this (Friday) afternoon, arriving a little
after 4pm, and hoping that the bird would do a repeat performance from
Wednesday and show up late in the day.  Alas, it was not meant to be.  No
sign of the bird on Blacks Mill or Graceham Rds, or any of the many farm
roads in that area that I and several others drove.  Some birders were there
all day and did not see the bird.

I know this is discouraging for those planning to look this weekend, but I
would still encourage you to go.  There's tons of habitat, and it could
easily show up again.  As others mentioned, the Long Island bird would go
missing for a few days, and then show up again in the same spot.  This bird
could do the same.  I can't go Sat or Sun, but hope to go back up on Mon.

Good birding,
