I can confirm that Joy Bowen and I did NOT see the Scissor-tailed 
Flycatcher north of Sudlersville on Tuesday morning.  We stayed for 
perhaps 15 minutes after Tom Jones left, but saw neither hide nor 
hair nor feather of this bird, which has now eluded us three 
times.  Interesting to learn that it was seen later in the afternoon.
