Hi everyone,

Has anyone seen (or tried but failed to see) the scissor-tailed flycatcher
and/or the Reeve today?  My wife and I want to take a drive down on Sunday,
but we want to be sure we have a decent chance of seeing the bird(s) before
we go.

Thanks,

I was actually at the correct spot this morning from 8:10 am until
about 8:15 but I thought I was in the wrong place.  I primarily
watched (for several minutes) at the beginning of the entrance road to
Ingleside Rec. Area (which is where the eBird point plots out).  Turns
out that the point doesn't mark the Flycatcher (just the refuge).
Luckily I got a call (around 10:20) from Kevin Graff who I ran into
earlier (around 9:00 am) when Gwen Brewer found the bird.  I left it
there around 11:00 am.  It is all the way at the end of the road into
the Ingleside Rec. Area.  That road is the first right turn after
passing the road to Bogles Wharf on your left.

Kevin Graff and I also had the REEVE briefly at the Remington Pond
among a little over a hundred Dunlin, a few Yellowlegs, some SB
Dowitchers, at least 2 White-rumps, Semi Plovers, Black-bellied
Plovers, Semi and Least Sandpipers.  I had a nice comparison at one
point when it was associating with both a Greater and Lesser
Yellowlegs.

Good Birding !
J.B.
